Untitled - 2017

The one that really started this whole hyper- focussed journey for me. It was created by taking an element from an old ball point pen sketch and redrawn as vector art. That element was then used to create the mandala.

The sketch itself is from around 30 years ago I think. I did the vector art re-draw in the early 2000's after I learned to use the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.

So here I am again...screaming into the void while self-immolating and as uncertain as ever about sharing my art.

I'm an old graffiti artist still raging against the dying of the light but I don't paint as much as I would like to anymore.

As a Graphic Artist I have a deep interest in ornamental and decorative art. I use both traditional and digital tools to realize or reproduce graphic elements, letterforms, symmetric art and patterns as well as mandalas.

My vector art is usually a process of meditative experimentation and play. Intentionally arranging the different shapes and forms until they're aesthetically pleasing and functional. Kind of like sampling and remixing music in a way. The freehand drawings come together through a more neurographic process that produces an even more innate style.

Although I'm self-taught for the most part I did do some time in the formal art school environment but learned far more painting walls and trains at night in the 1980's and 90's.
