Morbid Tales

Abstract

My oddball childhood led me to seek guidance in the weird and macabre. As a teenager I began ghost hunting in cemeteries and constructing haunted houses in my mom’s backyard for the kids in the neighborhood to experience. An obsessive and absorbing stage began to take place, which furthered into my adulthood. The creations I produce are direct extensions of personal memories intermixed with specific interests in sub-cultures. I reference traditional tattoo imagery, Historical printmaking techniques, Mexican-American heritage, Heavy metal music, Pagan symbolism and 1970’s and 1980’s horror films. I grew up having strange ideas about the world due to growing up in turmoil, which ultimately fueled my attitude to become an artist and tell my story.
