His modernist style of fine art draws inspiration from various sources, including personal experiences, American comic book hero art from cities like New York and Chicago, pop art, post-industrialism (modern art), film noir, Art Deco, and the gangster movies of the 1930s and 1940s.

Giclee Artist Prints
Spelt correctly, Giclée is a French word for spray (little sprey!). This is a digital printing process in which a dedicated type of ink-jet printer is used with specialist inks to produce a high quality Art print. As an artist, I feel a Giclée print produces a better finish than other types of modern artist printing formats.
Linocut Artist Prints
A Linocut is a relief print that is produced like a woodcut but uses lino as the surface from which the design is carved as a template used for the printing. In making a Linocut, basically your design uses the raised (uncarved) areas for the different inks to print the same picture over and over.
Silkscreen Print Collection
Creating screen prints – The inks are forced through a mesh screen onto the printed surface. This enables certain areas of the screen template to be made impervious to the printing ink, in effect creating a stencil. The ink that is able to pass through forms the printed image.
