The Spanish word siesta: to take a brief cat-nap, recharging from a busy day of life with a lil bit of relaxation. This is living in Austin, TX.

About a year ago I began my apparel brand Siesta. It was a way to apply my doodles to wearables and get my friends involved. High quality materials with stitched-in details. Take these, put em on my buddies, and play around with film photos and some graphic design. There's nothing better.

Tattooing came about by association. Since wrapping up my portfolio at The Creative Circus in 2014, I've been taking my own art and finding tattooers to permanently place them on my body. After a few armfuls, a leg, my entire back, and some torso pieces.. I decided to jump in and take a swing at it myself.

Art and design are complimentary opposites. It helps me break the grid when I draw, and push the boundaries when I design.
