Well here goes nothing
Welcome to my sketchbook—a mixed archive of sketches, drawings, and illustrations in all sorts of mediums.
For most of my life, I’ve kept this stream of consciousness to myself, opting to only share my "finished" pieces.
So, why share now? Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that while uploading these pieces here. Maybe it’s about laying all my cards on the table and starting fresh. Some of this work has been tucked away for literally decades, and I feel like it’s finally time to push myself to bring it out into the light.

2023
2022
Things finally started to look up - or did it?
2021
2021 was just a continuation 2020 - still locked up inside amidst political unrest. The future still felt uncertain and tried to continue sustaining habits started the previous year while continuing to improve general lifestyle.
2020
2020 was a year of isolation and reset in direction.
Despite the world seemingly falling about around me. It was an incredibly busy year at work with my growing responsibilities.
It was then I finally committed to studying languages I’ve been interested in for decades and for whatever reason a newfound obsession with denim and it’s characteristics in detail.
2019
2019 was standout year. It was though all the struggles of prior ones seemed to resolve in a balanced unity. By this point I had grown into my profession and all the while embark on several memorable international trips.
2018
The year of 3D. It was a career shift and now my second time moving to New York.
I lived and breathed 3D eager to learn everything I possibly could, which resulted to some neglection in my sketchbook.
2017
This year was dare I say, a golden era of creative expression?
It was the most challenging period in both my professional and personal life what felt at the time as rock bottom.
I was between jobs so I had a lot of time on my hands to really immersive in my art.
It served as pivotal year closing and beginning a new chapter life.
2016
2016 felt like taking two steps backward.
I struggled to find work in New York and ultimately had succumbed an opportunity in Los Angeles.
It felt as if I stared over in many ways now falling into a different lifestyle.
