His work’s subject matter draws its inspiration from the paranormal, the supernatural, folklore, mythology, horror movies, and scary stories. In terms of technique, he has been heavily influenced by the painters of the renaissance, baroque, neo-classical, and academic movements. He has also been influenced by a new batch of illustrators and artists working in what has recently been called low brow or pop surrealism, which have encouraged him to embrace more whimsical and imaginative visuals. He uses his classical technical influences as a way to try to create a realistic world for his more fantastical imagery to reside in. On top of this, in his paintings he hopes to convey or capture some sort of emotion (usually a somber one), and hint at a narrative just enough that viewers are able to create their own stories in their minds as to what is happening in any one of his pictures.
