I’m a Brooklyn-based illustrator and printmaker who creates animal characters in motion-filled, story-driven scenes, often capturing the spirit of subcultures like skateboarding and classic country music. I combine traditional printmaking techniques, like woodcut and screenprinting, with digital illustration to give my work a handcrafted nostalgia with a modern twist. I run Dog Gone Studios, my creative outlet and online shop where I sell limited edition art prints, t-shirts, stickers, and other handmade goods. Outside of Dog Gone, I work as a freelance illustrator and have collaborated with brands like Nike, Vans, Dogfish Head Brewery, Thrasher Magazine, and Creature Skateboards. I’ve also created official poster art for bands like Dead and Company, Billy Strings, The Offspring, and Sturgill Simpson. For open studios, I’m excited to share some of my larger woodcut pieces that I don’t usually get to show unless someone stops by the studio. Swing by and you might even get the chance to make your own print from one of my blocks!

Printmaking is the core of Dog Gone. All the artwork is handmade, no generated slop. Everything starts as a sketch on paper, then gets carved as a woodcut or drawn digitally before becoming a relief print or limited edition screen print, most hand pulled by me in the studio. Apparel, stickers, and books round out the shop, often spun off from larger series or popular designs. I don't really think of this as a brand. It's a studio practice with a shop built around it. I'm the sole creator and handle everything from design to packing, with help from a few trusted print partners. While dogs are a big part of the shop's identity, they're not the whole story. I also draw inspiration from my love of skate culture, classic country music, and children's book illustration. I have been drawing and skateboarding for as long as I can remember. As a kid I loved the art in childrens' books and animated movies and spent hours trying to copy them. The local skateshop felt like an art museum to me. The board wall, stickers and t-shirts were packed with bold graphics and characters that felt alive. Later in college I got deep into 70s country music and started paying attention to the storytelling in those songs. Those early interests became the recurring themes in my work- dynamic characters, capturing motion, and compositions that tell a story. I use a mix of relief printmaking, screen printing, and digital drawing, with the look and feel inspired by traditional techniques and vintage graphics.
