About Me

I started my artistic career over three decades ago cutting my teeth painting letters on Melbourne walls and trains in the early 90s. My passion for graffiti propelled me into the next twenty years of fine art and graphic design where I won design publishing awards and worked for large corporations such as the Herald Weekly Times. I turned my hand to tattooing in 2011 focusing primarily on finely detailed realism. I also love to draw on my lettering background with my heavily street influenced script work. As a 'Jake' of all trades I am also proficient at most styles of tattooing. My other interests include comics, bmx and classic cars.
