Lowbrow Artist!
Hire This Artist
I’ve always been drawn to anything offbeat and different, in my pursuit of art. The strange, dreamlike, weird, and experimental have always been important to me, and I take inspiration from the Lowbrow movement. Lowbrow art has been with me since before I knew the term, in the form of monsters. I’ve doodled monster-like creatures on any available surface for as long as I can remember. These creatures eventually became what I call the “SoonMoon people”, and they proceeded to infiltrate everything from cards for my wife and children to small drawings in letters to friends.
I’ve worked as a graphic artist in the sign business for over forty years now. In this time, I learned new skills I could use to bolster my artwork. My knowledge of pattern-making, sign painting, and neon work came together with my long-term interest in monsters to produce my work.
