Realism
A classic style, realism is satisfying and methodical. I often use it to track my skill and development as an artist. My realism focuses on precision, anatomy, light, and shadow.

Semi Realism
My semi-realism encompasses anything that's not realism, but not quite cartoon either. I use line art to define the whole subject and often the background, whereas in realism I mostly limit bold lines to heavy shadow. You'll also notice a lot more saturated colour.
I've also included objects such as the Gore Table and Bird Mask in this category.

Abstract
I use my abstract style to convey emotions that don't fit into language. When I create these pieces I am in other worlds, where language falls by the wayside and sensation and mystery rule. Most of my pieces in this style are part of a series I did for my first art show, where I translated music into visual art through my synesthesia. (Synesthesia is when your brain routes sensory information through multiple unrelated senses, causing you to experience more than one sense simultaneously- "hearing" numbers, "tasting" colours, or in my case, "seeing" sounds.)

Fine Line
Fine line holds a special place in my heart. It's a very methodical process and yields some truly stunning results, if done correctly. In this style I use no shading, just crosshatching of varying line weights and spacing, with solid black in the darkest areas. Occasionally I will draw little circular shapes for highlights. It requires a true understanding of values, light, and shadow.
I use this style for regular pieces as well as for tattoo designs for myself and my clients. In this section you will see the digital and on-skin versions of these designs. Please note that I do not tattoo the designs myself, I just create them. I work with trained tattoo artist(s) to bring these designs to skin.
