The "Stay Bit" series of illustrations, prints and wood sculptures is an homage to all my saltwater rituals. The design series revolves around the culture behind a waterman. Watermen have skills in multiple aquatic sport disciplines such as surfing, fishing, kayaking, boating, bodysurfing, clamming, crabbing, and lobster fishing. These limited edition serigraphs honor the skills you achieve when you dedicate a lifetime passion to the ocean, bay and inner estuaries.

A collaboration of abstract calligraphy and experimental screen printing. This series of five limited editions prints plays with layering and a playful intuition between shape, texture and letterform. Each print is unique but the use of color and form create a cohesive system. Each serigraph is signed and numbered by the artist. These can be purchased in a deep floater frame or unframed, dry-mounted on foamcore.
