I'm an independant illustrator/writer of semi-auto-biographical, yet socially relevant sci-fi/horror/martial arts/surreal stories. I use monsters, robots, and other fantastical imagery/scenarios to express trans-philosophical themes. My format is often experimental, ranging form-wise between conceptual art, a graphic novel, storybook, short story, and prose poetry. I'm inspired by the great retro cult monster movies( Godzilla, universal monsters, Harryhausen, comics, surreal and expressionist art as well. I'm also into strength training, boxing/martial arts, writing, and philosophy. I've combined these interests into a personalized self-empowerment system - thus my fitness activities and MMA training act as a kind of research for my peaceful warrior characters, and I formulate my own meditations, affirmations, and theories.
