Rock & Roll Artwork, Portraits, Landscapes and Wood Carvings.
I don't know about other artists but my work spaces are messy! I am also extremely productive, both from a creative and a professional perspective. Surrounding myself with music and things that inspires me, I find my creative juices flowing and I try something new or pick up a pencil and sketch out my next... Continue Reading →
Physical Graffiti is a special piece to me. It was recently sold and shipped to its new home! Having it sold is a bitter-sweet feeling. I've talked about Physical Graffiti before, back in 2016, when I did a bit of a face lift to the frame. The journey I took with my art to create Physical... Continue Reading →

I want to reach everyone who is interested! I am finding different mediums in which to put Jimmy Page or Mick Jagger on, like... Continue Reading →

I keep painting, little bit every night in my livingroom, I paint. Now all this work is sitting in my home, slowly taking it over! So I am excited to say... Continue Reading →
For several months now, I have been hard at work in my living room. If you've checked out my story, you'd have seen me bent over the canvas; paints and brushes around on my coffee table in my Zeppelin shirt. That picture was taken in August, in the beginning. Much progress has since been made since that evening... Continue Reading →
