Harvest of the Souls

I get my influences from the rotting corpse of Hieronymus Bosch who is hiding in my wardrobe delivering the baby of Max Ernst and Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth, along with Robert Williams, Pieter Bruegel and Magritte. Scattered outside are mice, rabbits, elephants, eggs, chickens, dolls, cartoons, pop icons, alchemy symbols, and themes with landscapes, which range from bright surreal worlds to the darker rooms of a European church. All which are constructed with oils and ink with a complex composition and lots of planning. A lot of the deals with fear and the unknown.

I am the Creator of the illustrated “Forever 27” poster, and Illustrator for one of the short stories for L. Ron Hubbard. I also worked on numerous album covers/shirt designs for such bands as Dog Fashion disco, Tub Ring, Hunab Ku, Polkadot Cadaver, and many more.
