Compubeaver is a computer case mod. A full computer housed in a taxidermied beaver. Text-o-possum is an accessory, a bluetooth laser keyboard housed in elegant possum.
Influenced by comic books, Japanese street fashion, hardware stores, and the monsters living underneath my bed, curiosity drives much of my work. My art is pretty whimsical, and I encourage looking at the silliness that surrounds us.
I believe imagination is a superpower we all possess, and encourage stepping out of grown up life for a moment to recall a child's eager fascination with even the most mundane. I see the world in color, and like to think there's a part of all of us that wishes that piggies could fly and spiders could have a swell chat on a rainy afternoon.
A web and graphic designer by trade (atypicalart.com), I've worked with various mediums including painting, installation and wearable art. Lately, I've been working more with metal because I enjoy the malleable nature of it, as well as the fact that I get to play with bad-ass welding gear.
Current interests include exploring our diminishing relationship with nature as we become more reliant on technology, building a metal and blacksmithing shop at my new home in the mountains, playing with antique clock parts, trying to find the perfect quack box and Beartato.
I am the spawn of flower children and have lived in too many places to list. I received a BA in Art History from UCLA, and currently live, work, and scheme in a tiny town in the hills outside Los Angeles. My favorite color is "awesome."
