is a contemporary artist, muralist, and designer based out of Columbus, Ohio. He fuses graphic design elements with traditional painting, following and breaking the rules of the former to create a unique visual vocabulary. Hard-edged, regulated forms like stairs and tunnels are rendered in shifting gradient colors, providing formal movement and cadence to otherwise ambiguous scenes. His work has always found its footing somewhere in the realm between analog and digital, between the real and the impossible - a place you’ve never been that somehow feels oddly familiar.
