I‘ve been back in NYC since 2003, working as a designer and illustrator. I have also been tattooing since 2004, which to me is like illustration on the human body. My art is inspired by my rumination on subjects of interest, including urban culture, mythology, and nature. Although I can’t completely explain my process, my thoughts conjure images and I am compelled to turn them into something visual. Sometimes I still doodle on my furniture…
Fun walk-in last weekend.

Finally finished this nature sleeve. I have posted the progress many time because I really enjoyed working on this one.
It took over a year and about 10 sessions.
It is Chris’s first tattoo. He came in with a loose sketch and allowed me to do the rest.
Thank you for your trust and following it through. I look forward to seeing pics of this one in the wild 🥰
