About

I'm a half-basque man and Boise resident who likes to get his hands dirty with art after a day spent working on the computer. I pursue artistic endeavors like drawing, print making, illustration and t-shirt design. I really like worms and tentacles, unconventionally attractive people, lightning, candy, ravens, peanut butter, and hard rock about dragons.

I like to go places and do things.

Here’s an assortment of small works from between projects over the last couple weeks.

Custom type for our great state. This was a fun one to draw up.

Swimming has been working well so far. I am gonna stick with it. Hope y’all are staying afloat too.

Tomorrow marks one year of being full-time freelance. Huge thanks to all of you who met me for coffee or drinks, talked a little shit and helped get me going. I appreciate it!

Hacking away at old ideas with some new brushes again. Gotta keep those digital drawing chops sharp.

Even online schools need mascots. Wolves and Griffins for the Gem Prep Meridian and Meridian North locations. Fun work!

Worst seat cushion ever!

Tune in next week for another update on where our young baseball hero misplaces his protective gear. Eeewww!

I drew up this fun design to help out a kid who got some bad news a few weeks back. She likes a dancing T-Rex. Who doesn’t?

Remember to help each other out whenever you can. And be there for people. It’ll help knock off the dusty malais

No one is in the office to appreciate it....but the new wall graphics I designed for @accentureinteractive in Boise are up. Looking sharp! Thanks @coxtim73 for the great project.

A little art labor on Labor Day. A sure way to chase off a case of the Mondays!

A scrape and some residual tape marks on my sons’ elbow. They are just screaming for attention. Ha!

My son took a picture lying on his back looking up through a tree and asked me to paint it. So I did.
