Life long artist born and raised in Buffalo, New York. Ive been drawing ever since I was old enough to pick up a crayon, and my entire life I always knew I wanted to be a professional artist. I am fully self taught with the exception of studying and receiving a diploma in Advertising Arts during high school. At 17 I started my own airbrushing business during my senior year. In 2009 I further combined my love of art and fashion and founded my business Tekneek Custom Sneakers & Apparel, specializing in hand painted custom sneakers and clothing. And recently I decided to return back to my roots of traditional art and illustration which has always been my true passion.

-I illustrate a wide range of subject matter but specialize in drawing wildlife and portraits/people. I am currently taking graphite/pencil commissions

I am currently accepting commission requests for my graphite/pencil work. For pencil work I specialize in drawing people/portraits and wildlife but I am more than happy to offer any subject matter you may request. Client receives the actual original drawing and not a print or copy. All work is done on professional quality Strathmore 500 series bristol which is completely archival. Upon request artwork can be matted/mounted as well as framed for an additional cost.
