Distorted Perspective is sort of the digital extension of my life, and has been since 1999. I work as an art director and senior designer at Zinio, but most of that is only to pay the bills for paints and canvases and film and books. I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, and most of the portfolios online now are what I’ve been up to for the past few years.

I like music that is either long and melodic or short and chaotic. I enjoy a glass of nice scotch but won’t turn down vodka that tastes like gasoline. I think we could all be better people, and life is lead in striving.

I went to SCAD for graphic design and BU for photojournalism. I’m a sucker for politics and social discourse and don’t care much about capitalism. My best teachers have been the works of Rothko, Rauschenberg, Warhol and Banksy.

I have a Tumblr account, and run a side-project called Modern Art Is War. I don’t Tweet or have a Facebook or anything like that. Maybe that just makes me older than I wish I was. I can be e-mailed here, and am on Instagram and AIM @bringnobombs.

Thank you for visiting. It’s very humbling to know that in our short time alive, people use time from their days to look at the shit I make.
