The Steampunk Clock Anniversary Gift

The Steampunk Clock Anniversary Gift

I love it when a client commissions a piece, gives me a few guidelines and then lets me run with it.  As most clients don’t know my full skill set (sometimes I don’t either!) they don’t know what I’ll create.

About Me

I am a full-time Artist and have been an artist my entire life. I've worked in graphic design, video game design, the slot machine industry, and more. I've developed light and sound shows for the (at the time) largest video screen in the world. Now I'm creating new pieces from mostly recycled items like saws, scrap metal, and bicycle parts. I want to help people see the possibilities of what "can be" and inspire those who interact with my art.

Here's why you should consider buying Recycled Artwork
