Album 2: Guitarmageddon. A collection of guitar-focused instrumental pieces recorded between 2019 and 2023. There’s a little bit of humor sprinkled in too! Cover illustration by yours truly.

My new virtual mascot. He’s a time traveling multi-instrumental music man from the future on a journey to seek new inspiration for his latest tunes. When his creative itch starts tingling he returns back to his home to record new tunes in his basement studio lair.

(2021) Some drawings of Steve Urkel and his alter ego Stefan from the 1990s sitcom Family Matters. If you're my age, this show was a major pop culture staple of the 90s! #cartoon #characterart #sketchbook #digitalart #illustration

My new 6 song EP “Static Dreams” is almost finished. I will announce soon when it is ready for release on Bandcamp and streaming services! I would describe this collection of songs as an experimental shoe gaze project.
