I pitch myself as "The Artist at the End of the World". I'm an expert in dry mediums, especially graphite drawing, but with experience in charcoal, chalks, pastels, and have some experience with inks and paints as well. I'm also a photographer, wherein I've been developing a collection of post-apocalyptic-themed stylized photos, combining urbex style locations, volunteer models, costumes, and props. I have also been known to write and perform spoken word poetry at various locations and open mic nights.
