Photography by Torsten DreverI dabbled forever in art and many of its malformed afterbirths before finally taking a shot in editorial illustration,
which I couldn't be more happy with.
My style is a bastard of 1930 goldenage surrealism and 2019 vector art dilettantism. I like bright colors telling me terrible things.
Favorite subjects to draw center timeless topics such as power, money, science, death, love and fried chicken.
Outside of work you usually find me developing vegan recipes, losing at overcomplicated board games or starring at a dead tree, hallucinating.
(I wanted to say something more interesting than reading.)
Waste no time...drop a line!

i was gonna do a horse drawing tutorial on how a common mistake is to draw their eyes on the front of the head like a cat or a dog instead of more to the side like many other prey animals, but honestly this restoration did the job better than i could ever have. https://t.co/1A6vkUzicm
People saying they like your work and that it reminds them of *insert artist here* does not undermine the compliment, it's just a way to articulate why they like it by highlighting similar qualities. https://t.co/I1J1vdFHod
Art does not exist to be evaluated on a scale of “harm” to “uplift,” and if we want to talk dog-whistles, that right there is a huge one: it’s deeply anti-intellectual, and it centers a form of toxic individualism that evacuates solidarity/difference in favor of moral purity.
@travislouie I get that its a bigger deal with movies and tv than our field . Back in the day I never thought being a different race would matter in illustration.
