My photography is used to express my imagination, interests, emotions, achievements, but most importantly my creativity. I draw a majority of my inspiration from cartoons, anime, and even movies I’ve seen. For example; Steven Universe, Dorohedoro, Death Note, Avatar the Last Airbender, and IT. I use IBIS Paint X to draw all of my edits on my self portraits, on my Phone or IPad.

The universe that I’ve created within my art is a dreamscape of my desire to travel the cosmos… each piece builds into that universe, taking inspiration from this world, but never in the same way. My universe is my signature. And I want to share it with you all.
The uniqueness of this idea makes it all the more special to me, which makes it worth sharing.
