Woody, you weigh a tonne
In my head, they’re at a wedding. This piece originated from spray-painting Woody and Buzz figures and taping them together to hold the perfect dynamic, drunken dancefloor pose.

BikingDC
A commissioned piece for popular Instagrammer bikingdc.
After seeing some of his unicycle content, I immediately wanted to continue exploring a dynamic painting approach. Focus on a low, wide camera angle, an almost tipping posture, and a sense of rushed movement in the surroundings.
Sharp details in the face and tire serve as grounding, stable points.

This figure is locked in a pose that feels deliberately uncomfortable - tense and human in its awkwardness.

The Business Card
This painting was created specifically to be used on my business card. I chose not to repurpose older work, as some paintings are better suited to a smaller scale - and this felt like one of them. Printed on thick card and hand-signed on the back, each one becomes a unique mini print.

Imaginary Friend
the good gold days

1. Staged
The stark, modern studio strips this statue of its context - as if he’s been plucked from antiquity and thurst into a life of posing.
Once a symbol of timeless stillness, he now sits under bright artificial lights, misplaced and repurposed, performing in a setting he was never meant for.

2. For Paint Only
Created purely as a technical exercise, this subject exists for no reason other than to reflect light. There is no narrative or identity - just a manufactured form built to showcase paint. His gaze is empty, because he was only meant to be rendered.
The use of shallow depth of field sharpens this disconnect, drawing the viewer into a face-to-face encounter that feels intimate, yet ultimately hollow.

3. Still Strain
This figure is locked in a pose that feels deliberately uncomfortable - tense and human in its awkwardness.
Unlike earlier works, it was painted with sharp restraint, using as few strokes as possible. This minimal approach heightens the contrast: each highlight is deliberate, every mark carries weight.

4. Emerging
The final painting in my gold statue series, this piece marks a transition - both in subject and tone. Unlike the earlier works, where fully metallic figures sat uneasily in stark, modern settings, this figure begins to shed its artificiality.
The gold has softened. The form now feels more human, more at peace, and finally placed in a setting that feels like home. The use of gentle brushwork and a light, natural palette mirrors this shift - inviting stillness, rather than tension.
Whether the subject remains a statue or has begun to take on life is left ambiguous - for the viewer to decide.
