"The End" is about love and heartbreak, destruction and regrowth. It showcases the melodrama of a crumbling relationship over the backdrop of the apocalypse. The focus is on desolation at a smaller, more intimate scale rather than at the world-wide level, but the dissolution of a personal connection and the end of the world play out as parallel events, accompanied by the heightened emotions and uncertainty that they both elicit.

"The End" was a solo exhibit at WWA Gallery in Culver City, CA in September of 2011.

"Into the Unknown" focuses on one character going through a journey and exploring the strange and mysterious, represented by outer-space. He eventually travels through an environment reminiscent of viscera, so his adventure also becomes a metaphor for self-discovery. The entire journey represents an attempt to figure out the answers to life's questions by venturing through uncharted territory as well as looking inward and trying to discover how one fits into the larger scheme of the universe.

"Into the Unknown" was exhibited in the project space of WWA Gallery in May of 2010.

This series of work was part of my senior thesis at Otis College of Art & Design. It explores the many different nature symbols that people from cultures all over the world used to represent universal themes such as death, power, and wisdom. I was interested to discover just how important a role nature played in the mythologies, folklores, and traditions of these various cultures. As I researched the symbols I was fascinated by how the seemingly arbitrary plants and animals came to be associated with certain ideas in always interesting and sometimes surprising ways.

From 2009-2011, I was a semi-regular contributor to LA Weekly with my visual column, "LA-LA Land," which explored the strange and eccentric aspects of Los Angeles that make the city so unique. That series is collected here, along with various other illustrations I created for the weekly (including one cover).
