ABOUT ME

“Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave with a box of scraps!” (Iron Man 2008).

The main concept of my artwork focuses on the appreciation of automatons throughout pop culture media and technological advancements in a world bent on moving forward. Throughout the course of my life, I have had a fascination with machines depicted in entertainment media from Star Wars, Lego-Bionicle, Transformers, etc. as I longed for the idea of these fictional worlds to become a reality. My main forms of media I specialize in are collaging, digital illustrations, and crafting sculpture to fabricate a world full of these mechanical lifeforms. To achieve this, I use 2d and 3d elements throughout my creative process using both old pieces of media from the 20th century along with scrapped toys, plastic pieces, and metal parts to forge them into fine art pieces and graphic art prints. My automatons are built to bring out the same spark that will forge out a future as I am an artist who desires to go beyond the limits of what art can be and fabricate art from my metal heart. For it is what I am, a being built of the worlds of man and metal. I am, “The Mechanized Artist.”
