I create whatever I feel like. I enjoy creations that explore and bridge cultures from all over the planet both past and present. The techniques and media used are traditional, modern, and experimental. I place emphasis towards natural, quality, and recycled material, such as leather, brass, and wood.
These videos may help inspire you to attempt projects of your own, be sure to accept all the inherent risks of your project and take the proper safety precautions. Not responsible for how you use your newly acquired knowledge.
