Tron Lightcycle Gen 2
Airbrush on Canvas · 2022
24" × 18"
A hyper-detailed recreation of the iconic lightcycle reimagined for the next generation — chrome panels, glowing circuits, motion blur that almost hums. The airbrush captures every reflective surface, every neon edge cutting through the dark.

Proto Symbiont 2150
Airbrush on Canvas · 2023
24" × 30"
The first human-symbiont hybrid, rendered in fine detail. Organic tissue and synthetic structure share the same membrane — indistinguishable from each other, inseparable in purpose. A portrait of what evolution looks like when we choose it.

Airbrush on Canvas · 2021
18" × 24"
