Have you ever found the smallest details in the smallest of objects? Of friends? Of family? Did these tiny details ever take you on a mental journey through inspiration, where the end result is something amazing? These are the ideals that go into my work and what make my work the way it is to this day.

The smallest thought I have in my brain can become something amazing to me, flowing from my pen to sketchbook. These small thoughts I have reflect in my work via the details in each pen stroke and sway of the brush. I look at the world around me and choose when to observe and when to block it all out.
