The Best Job in the World - 2021

“Some say your job is only good if you like your co-workers. And when your co-workers are a Saint Bernard, a Golden Retriever, a Chow Chow, a Miniature Schnauzer, and a Chihuahua, you may have just found the best job in the world. All the dogs are modeled after my family’s dogs, including my own Saint Bernard: Watson.”

Punk Rock Barbershop - 2020

The Punk Rock Barber Shop is a crazy, colorful sculpture illustration, playing with the possibilities of storytelling through experimental mediums. This piece relishes in the pride that comes with being completely yourself, no matter how unique that look may be. From pink braids to rainbow dreads, the possibilities for self-expression are endless.
