To trick the eye and challenge the senses. My work is meant to not be seen as such at first, but to make the viewer believe that the image they are viewing is natural, unaltered. To take many objects and conjoin them together so that the completed work seems so completely normal the your mind doesn't send an Objection to your thought process. But instead, after seeing and walking away, to make you say to yourself, "Wait a second..." and then make you look twice to comprehend all that is achieved. That is my work.

Goals
Eventually my final goal is to hold a high position in a reputable animation and design studio for Animation or Game design. This job is very difficult to get started in, due to most positions requiring expirience in the business to aquire. So my first step is to get my foot in the door in any way possible. Then I will work my way up.
