I have been carrying a sketchpad since I was 5 years old, and after about 22 years of keeping a sketchpad I've finally gotten decent, haha
I graduated from Georgia Southern University in 2005 with a BFA in Painting and a minor in philosophy. Since then, I have worked a variety of jobs while maintaining my independent art practice. I'm currently trying to go back to school for a graduate degree as well as seeking representation at a legitimate gallery.
I sometimes write about my art and occasionally spill over into ruminations about the process of making art; it all goes down here.
I have two shops
Etsy: small paintings, drawings, hand drawn shirts, Christmas tree ornaments, etc.
-&-

Over 80 shirts, some buttons and stickers too
and a for-real website in progress.
