SCRIBBLE

This is a 10 second sketch of a nude. "Abstract Art"

Photography

There was a period where I got into photography a bit. Mostly Black & White was my thing. Plus it was very popular at the time. I would find abandoned trucks and automobiles of sorts in the woods and take pictures of them. This is what I came up with.

Old School

I did this in High School art class circa 1995. It is one of my first pencil compositions. It was inspired by Frank Zappa's Overnight Sensation. I use to listen to that album constantly. It's got the slime from the video, the doll with a pin, a lighter, the fuming inscence stencher, and I think the rest is just a reference to Dynamo Hum.

ROOT BEER

I was inspired to do this piece, because I work in the alcohol industry. It is open to interpretation.

LIBER 8 ME

I am very glad to be a part of this project. If you find any of these things around philly, STEAL one. I dare you! For more pictures go to

Big ups to the man who is known to liberate!

The Wizard

I did this ink drawing during Senior week after High School in the summer of 1997.

I revisited the idea in 2004. I can't believe it's 2008 and I'm still trying to do this stuff.

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

DO NOT CLUB SEALS!

another pirate ship piece

Staying true to the pirate kick I've been on.
I think the backround of this one got extra crazy looking.

VARIATIONS

I took a day to see how fast I could draw the seal logo. I'm down to being able to draw it in in 15 seconds.

SNIPER

JUST PRACTICING NEW TECHNIQUES

WTF

This is a black & white version of a colored pencil drawing I did in High School. Bottom left hand corner is Mickey Dollins. (from the Monkees, as if you didn't know)

the wall

I came across this photo that I saved on a disc for some reason. It's the wall at the ex o24art gallery. There's a couple Glick faces throughout. The funny thing is that if you look close there are these strange portraits. They are actually pictures I took from a previous photography job.

Retirement

This piece is in memory of my skateboarding career, and injuries. It was fun!

VEHICLE

One day I'm gonna build this car

IDIOT BOX

This is a little invention I made. It's a TV, that's wired into a telephone. When you pick up the receiver, it triggers a self help motivational voice that sounds like an alien. It also sets off a lot of annoying lights. I admit, it's kind of weird,but, people seemed to like it.

SCARY

I randomly found this picture on the Internet. It's kind of terrifying. I'm convinced that the painting I did is haunted by whoever's bones these are.

SQUARES

I use to draw this pattern on graph paper in study hall. I decided to reproduce it on a larger scale. Blur your eyes a little bit, and it looks 3 dimensional.

A NEW START

I did this painting a few years ago. It's actually has real griptape on the board. There's nothing like the feeling of a brand new setup!

CONCRETE JUNGLE

I built this miniature skate park out of concrete and Styrofoam.
The shape is suppose to look like a lion's face. If you look really close there are little skaters, and skateboards that are ridiculously small. I did it for renegade art coalition project #7. click here to see other artists renderings.

DECK DESIGNS

This is a series of 5 skateboard deck designs I did. It's got somewhat of a heaven & hell theme to it. I currently have a tough time skating these days. I sometimes even have a tough time walking. Some say skateboarding is the fountain of youth. (not for me)
