My work lives in dualities—light and dark, sacred and street, reverence and rebellion. I don’t invite these tensions. They already exist in religion, pop culture, and all the stories we grew up with. A demon beside an angel. Christ with melanin skin. Your reaction to it—that’s the most telling truth about how we’ve been trained to interpret images.

I create my paintings from fragments—comic book frames, biblical symbols, cultural codes—and stitch them together through a process I call “Frankensteining.” It starts digital: body parts, motifs, and references collaged into new forms. Then I project the image onto canvas and paint it in heavy body acrylics, balancing hyper-realism with stylized exaggeration.

My influences run from Jack Kirby to Ben-Hur, from album covers to airbrush graphics. Whether I’m referencing the Tuskegee Airmen or Greek mythology, I want the work to resonate—visually, emotionally, culturally. Teasing contradictions. Challenging perception. That’s where the power is.

And at the foundation of it all is family. My wife has been my constant encouragement, offering strength through every chapter. My children, and now my grandchildren, keep me grounded.
