TECHNOLOGY
$1,500 per month


My technology is breaking. I need a computer, a camera, lights, mics, programs, whatever is necessary to keep me moving forward and up! Straight into the Artistic Stratosphere. These upgrades will happen as needed, starting with the things that break first. (Hopefully before then!) Technology is my bridge. My backbone. My whole basis for being an artist on the internet. It's my everything! At least until the sun throws a gigantic flare and wipes out the grid for a good 50 years. In that case, I'm not sure how useful this will be. I guess I should also learn to fish.
So I have options.


LONDONTOWN
$2,000 per month


I have an opportunity to throw a show in London! For reals! It's going to be unlike any show I've ever had before. It's going to change everything for me, and I hope for others around the globe. Welcome to the New Renaissance! It's time to fully reinvent the life and career of an artist. Now that we have Patreon, we can start thinking big. Really big. We can revolutionize what it means to even have an art show. 
Take that, traditional art world! ;)

About

Full time artist living and working in Southern California. 

My paintings are Light Reactive and glow in the dark. I throw my own art shows and represent myself in the art world. 

I like circles and astronomy. I practice minimalism. I don't own a TV or a couch. My living space is devoted to my art studio. I've been learning Krav Maga for 4 years. I train hard.

I also travel a lot.

I love living in the future! Patreon is changing everything.


By becoming a patron, you give me the opportunity to be an artist. It really is that simple. I value your donation with the utmost reverence and gratitude. Your support inspires me to succeed.

Just a small pledge on your part can collectively change my life. :)



I've made hundreds of Light Reactive Paintings over the last decade. I use acrylic, sand, glass, garnet, sea shells, candle wax, cinnamon, salt and phosphorescent pigments. Each piece takes many months to complete.

My portfolio and other information about me can be viewed here.

I love non-traditional spaces and for the last few years I've been throwing my own gallery shows in Orange County and Los Angeles. I'm always on the lookout for interesting venues and innovative collaborators.


















Making art in the 21st century has lots of advantages! Never before have artists and collectors been able to interact so freely. I'm able to document my own career for you, live as-it-happens. Patrons around the world get a front row seat in my studio. Ever wanted to see inside an artist's world? Now you can be part of the whole experience!


My goals are simple: I dream. I make art. I document it. I want to live my life mindfully. I hope to contribute something beautiful to humanity. I believe in a future where artists are encouraged to be artists! I wish every single one of us could devote each day to fulfilling our true purpose.

Don't you?



Still can't figure out how Patreon works? Watch this:


Seriously. Patreon is the best.

Endless gratitude to Jack, Sam, and the entire team at Patreon. It's an honor to know you. You are changing everything for artists! I'm so proud to be a part of it.
