GREETINGS EARTHLINGS:

Welcome to my magickal lair in the digital realm. I am a narrative artist currently escaping reality through painting, drawing, and storytelling. My work is set in an imaginary world called Southwestern Bellows, a fictional human breakaway civilization set in a land that looks like parts of California in the 1850s—a land populated by cactus witches and crystal wizards, immortal aliens that eat gold, and every paranormal creature imaginable. I am inspired by medieval art, UFOlogy, folklore, and nerdy history museums.

Browse my gallery to see more, or follow me on Instagram for updates!

Thank you for stopping by! I put a lot of love into my world, my characters, and my paintings, and I hope you enjoy your visit to Southwestern Bellows.

The Southwestern Bellows Volume One is now available for pre-sale!!

Exciting announcement: 

I HAVE AN ART BOOK!!  

THE SOUTHWESTERN BELLOWS VOL. 1 is now available for pre-sale! What you see before you is a curious hybrid creature--an artist's book that is also a book of illustrated short stories. This is my first such volume, and I hope it will be the first of many. It is also a tome of esoteric Alien lore and an accounting of events that transpired in a faraway land: a human breakaway civilization called the Southwestern Bellows. 

The Book is available through SPIRE AND SCRIBE--a freshly formed fine art imprint by Josh Rowan and Travis Lawrence--the team behind the tattoo-focused BLACK DAGGER BOOKS. These guys did such a good job putting this wondrous creature together. I am thrilled, crying tears of joy, and my six-chambered alien heart beats with gratitude blood! Order this book today!!
