Let’s do something epic.

Art. I make it.

Acrylics, oils, spray paint, pencil, pen, marker, photography, sculpture - all of it.

These are a few examples of personal art as well as commissioned work for personal and commercial use. The video above is a new mural completed summer 2024 for Moroch, a full service advertising agency in Dallas, TX that just built a new office in the Design District, on a wall approximately 34’ long and 16’ to 18’ height.

You will also notice below, a famous sculpture that is a personal favorite, titled the Winged Victory of Samothrace (also known as Nike of Samothrace), which is seen below in the Louvre Museum.

Murals, canvas, sketches, concepts - whatever you need - let’s talk.

DEEP ELLUM - BLUES ALLEY

Blues Alley is an homage to the history of Deep Ellum and it’s role in the development of Blues music, with artists like Lead Belly, T. Bone Walker and Blind Lemon calling setting roots there. The project was a longtime idea/dream of artists Dan Colcer and his spouse Cathryn Colcer. The vision was to create one of the longest consecutive murals in the U.S. all in blue paint, in honor of legendary musicians. I was invited to participate in the first section with several other artists, each with a 20+ ft panel that flowed into one another and carried music notes of a blues song ‘Deep Elem Blues’ - a song originally recorded in the 1920s and since covered by legends like Les Paul, Jerry Lee Lewis and the Grateful Dead.

I painted blues legend T. Bone Walker at left, Jimi Hendrix at center and a young Leon Bridges at right, using spray paint, representing the past to the future. Jimi Hendrix, while thought of as rock and roll, recorded many blues songs (see compilation album titled Blues by Jimi Hendrix) and incorporated the style in all his music.

In fact, Jimi was not the first to play the electric guitar with his mouth; it was T. Bone Walker of Dallas, whom Jimi openly admired.

Blues Alley continues and this work remains, starting at the corner of Henry and Clover St behind music venue The Factory.
