Just flew in…
I’m excited to announce that I’ll be a featured artist in this year’s Richmond Tattoo & Arts Academy, as part of the Richmond Tattoo & Arts Convention — happening October 17–19, 2025 in Richmond, VA.
This special event brings together a curated lineup of 5 artists — including two Fine Artists (myself included) and three incredible Tattoo Artists — for an unforgettable weekend of teaching, inspiration, and creative growth.
The Academy is a creative space built to challenge, elevate, and connect artists who are serious about pushing their work to the next level. I’ll be sharing insights into my artistic journey, creative process, and the lessons I've learned along the way, alongside some truly talented peers.
If you’re an artist looking to grow, or a fan interested in the deeper process behind the work, this is a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes with some of the industry's most passionate creators.

This unique exhibition celebrates the intersection of skate culture and artistic expression, featuring custom skateboard decks transformed into one-of-a-kind works of art by tattoo artists and other creatives. I'm honored to have a board included in the show!
