September 2011 I had the honor of meeting a multi-talented artist and extraordinary visionary Marti McGinnis who in August of 2010 immortalized me on a page in the book HapiLani. At her Happy Art Studio on Dog Trot Hill in Kentucky, I met her snarky yet lovable celebrity mini horse Iota McHippus and canine author [and my guru] JoJo Mcginnis. Marti threw a unicorn rainbow art party, showed me how to felt, and filled me inspiration. As a thank you I left a handmade book filled with pictures I had painted of Io and his sidekick Alfie McFlakey...and in turn Marti had made a beautful video documenting their adventure for all to enjoy.

My paintings cross and converge in many styles from contemporary abstracts with an Asian flair, custom caricatures done with a manga sensibiity, Japanese pop culture and traditional icons, misbehaving monkeys, and playful equine love. All my creations are originals and one of a kind. With the exception of a few caricatures, everything is made with acrylic and inks...and I'll paint on anything from the traditional to the not so. I do commissions for any style you see here....and to see them better please click on the image and they'll become more revealing. Click the products link for my creations that are up for adoption.
