in all media, my work involves distorting materials beyond recognition.
i shift things around til the starting point is lost, leaving only impressions of what once was.
outside of tattooing, i explore this through my writings and experiments with charcoal, ink, and water.
"que duermas rico" is a collection of two years of my dreams :: fragments of fleeting scenes, impossible images, and unhinged dialogue that i wrote as soon as i woke up. unedited, unread til printed.
