About me

I hail from Ann Arbor, Michigan U.S.A. Bored with my small town upbringing I lived all over the country during my 20's trough my early 30's from San Francisco to New York City. Each place offered a unique perspective on life and helped sculpt my view of the world. Now residing in Tokyo I would like to use those places, and my current one to craft thought provoking pieces both professionally and personally that inspire and excite the world.

    Hello all. My camera broke last year so while saving for a new one I made a short cartoon using after effects and photoshop with some of my friends in America in my spare time. I'm making this into a series so like it or not... continue reading (0, 0 images)
