My art background:

I studied at Max the Mutt Animation school for three years in the Concept art for Video Games and Animation program. My art fundamentals are based around the study of the Great Masters of the Renaissance (Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Donatello, Leonardo Da Vinci, etc) and their techniques as taught to them by their Masters, with a focus on composition and design, line, gesture, tone, colour and form.

Aside from all of that, I’ve been drawing since I could hold a pencil and traded lead for needles four years ago. I’ve enjoyed the difference and technicality of tattooing while being able to integrate my traditional and classical art training to provide unique tattoos.

I attended the Toronto Tattoo School where I learned the proper protocol for health and safety of both clients and myself before even picking up a tattoo machine. I passed the cross-​contamination and Blood-​borne Pathogens tests.
