Do you sell prints?

I'm creating some now - the first prints will be available by November 2026.

May I commission a piece of artwork?

What is gouache?

Gouache is a water-based paint that is opaque and similar to watercolor. It dries optically flat with a matte texture. I think of gouache as a middle ground between oils and watercolor - it is water-based, but its opacity and blending capability is similar to oils. Gouache dries quickly and was the go-to painting medium for legendary concept designers such as Ralph McQuarrie and Syd Mead, before digital tools became the standard.

How did you learn to draw and paint?

I’m largely self-taught. While I’ve been professionally trained as a concept designer, I’ve never taken a formal drawing or painting class. I started learning to draw in high school by watching YouTube videos and reading lots of books. I have an extensive collection of books on drawing, painting, design, and illustration that I read and refer to regularly.

What brands of paint do you use?

For oil paint, I use Michael Harding’s fantastic oil range.

For gouache paint, I use Winsor & Newton almost exclusively. For Cadmium Orange, I utilize Schmincke’s Horadam gouache, as it’s the only single-pigment, PO20 gouache paint that I know of. I use single-pigment paints only (as opposed to blends) to maximize purity of color.

Do you use archival materials in your artwork and frames?

Every material used in the creation and framing of my artwork is archival. The following is a list of the materials I use:

Michael Harding oil paints (Permanence rating AA or A only)

Winsor & Newton gouache (Permanence rating AA or A only)

Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils

100% cotton papers

Why aren’t you on social media?

I’ve found that social media isn’t the right platform for my work. Algorithms are currently focused on short-form media, and are rewarding artists for creating content that is quickly engaged with and forgotten. That cycle is antithetical to the kind of engagement I’m trying to create with my audience.
