Welcome to the weird! I'm a Philadelphia-based artist who specializes in original Contemporary Surrealism & weird fantasy art collage and illustration... some with a very antique print feel and spooky undertones... as well as creating colorful, unique modern botanicals, and very tasteful anatomical surrealism (my most popular art).
As a classically trained artist, I am inspired by specific aspects of pop art, dada (dadaism), modern illustration, and traditional surrealism– and juxtapose them like puzzle pieces into a slightly macabre kind of dark surrealism. I also love utilizing new digital media to blend and enhance my visions. It's sort of funny (to me) how even the pieces I think are the most fun seem to make other people feel weird… like they can see the darkness peeking through the cracks in the crackled varnish. What do they say? There’s a quote somewhere about how there’s a crack in everything, because that’s how the light gets in.
Follow me on Instagram for sporadic, strange photographic journeys along my wandering paths, or visit my Etsy Art Print Shop for new and exciting universes. My shop is on vacation mode for awhile, but it’ll be back up eventually. I'm working on rounding out my collections of Fantastic Beasts and Cabinet of Curiosities by trawling the depths of my extremely peculiar and papery collage dreams.
I'm building new, exciting worlds all the time, and I offer my inner paracosms to you for your viewing enjoyment, sometimes on my haphazardly pinned Pinterest Boards. My original art collage & digital illustration has many surreal art themes: anatomical art, biology & scientific art, brain art, floral anatomy art, unique botanical collage, fantasy art, and surreal art of the human, animal, and alien anatomy variety; demons, fairies, angels and other supernatural creatures; Victorian inspired animal people; whimsical mythology; and flights of fancy with butterflies, snakes, crows, moons, mushrooms, stars, and more.
I ship these unusual whimsical wonderful weird artworks worldwide and year-round from my Etsy Art Print Shop. Sometimes I offer stained glass ornaments, original art on canvas, postcards, greeting cards, and weird little art dolls. I bet you'll find the perfect unique art print gift right there for someone adorably weird you know! Or yourself.
Once at the Xenobiology art show a woman, who reminded me so much of Edna from The Incredibles, looked over all the specimen illustrations, and commented very curiously, “Your head must be an interesting place to live...”. Thank you, thank you very much. It is indeed.
