About

It starts with a sketch. No reference. No rules. Just chasing whatever strange characters surface before the idea slips away. In the short time, gestural lines and energetic marks are made. A personality quickly emerges. Although they were never meant to be more than warm-ups, as the sketchbooks piled up friends began telling me, “Do something with these!” Eventually, I listened and the oddities came to life.

After years of learning 3D, I was ready for the next step. To take a 2D expression and compose it in 3D requires some interpretation. Creating volume, exaggerating certain forms, and fighting to preserve the energy of the sketches. After several iterations for each, the result is a digital sculpture that feels hand-wrought, unpredictable, and alive.

To finish off, characters are printed in resin then painted. Resin, a lesser used version of 3D printing picks up small details while defying gravity to allow for energetic forms. The figures are then painted with an airbrush, by hand, or acrylic pour, ensuring each one is unique.

Currently there are 30 figure designs and quickly growing. Going from a stack of sketchbooks to a world with dimensionality and myth.
