about me

Having recently graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with bachelors’ in Metals and Industrial Design, I have found myself living in Chicago, working full time in the office of my father’s body shop and building a studio and creating work.
Surprisingly, the body shop has been an amazing artist community. I have learned so much from the techs in the back, many of which have been working with metal for the past 50 years. They have taught me new methods of tool making and unintentionally opened my eyes to countless new materials. Stay tuned for more to come!

check these out! (current inspirations)

ill never get tired of you sense of humor. how have you been?

those pigs are kinda new work/ old work. i made them in the fall of 08. we are doing well. Seana is making working at LSU and i am tagging along on the studio space. i havent made much, a few drawing and started working in clay again.
yea seana gets to deal with Mr. Aaron Ekhart about everyday that she works. she works in a coffee shop and he seems to be a jerk. i got to see once.
it would be great if we could see each other during the holidays, we plan on coming back for both but Christmas would be better since we will be home for a longer period of time. but i mean it! none of that "sure it would be great if we met" and then we never do.
i hope everything is well. oh you plan on going to SNAG this year? i am 90% sure that i am going.

Thank you for adding me. Good luck with everything after school. It is a hard period for everyone (like me!) Hope to meet in person sometime.

I 'm smiling on your funny test art project from Amsterdam with the story of Chun.
What do you mean about conteporary situation of the small production design studios in Amsterdam. I think what value of the rent for the houses is too high in Europe now. But people are looking for unique pieces from the artist/young designers there. I was'nt in Amsterdam to this time. I was in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, but very short time-like a turist. I love your project, because is an analyse of the young art/design scene in Amsterdam now.

Best wishes, Peter.

A body shop? I am soooo jealous! I can just imagine the expertise at your disposal and the tools!

And I just came back from visiting my Uncle in Chicago. The way he drove we might have ended up at your father's shop. Maybe next time :)
