Handsome and charming.

I’m Sean. This site is the home of my art and design projects, comic projects, and other stuff.

I have lived in the L.A. area since 2013, formerly in the Bay Area from 2000 to 2013. I moved to the Bay Area after I finished up my B.A. in art from UC Santa Cruz, and made the peculiar decision to get an engineering degree from Berkeley.

I have worked on some cool engineering projects over the years. If you use the bathroom in Yosemite Valley, your waste goes through pump stations I designed. I got to design a jail for a truck inspection facility. I engineered the world’s tallest indoor waterfall at Jewel Changi Airport. I have engineered water features in Dubai, Istanbul, Beijing, and Mexico City.

Check me out in my Old School (ie. College) Printmaking Days

I became a printmaker in college. UC Santa Cruz has a well-equipped printmaking studio, and I abandoned painting to take advantage of the facilities. This turned out to be a good thing because it turns out that I really like printmaking. Lithography was my method of choice back in college.

These days I mostly work in Woodblock and Relief Printing, because I don’t have access to the equipment and space required for lithography. When I’m [more] rich and famous I’ll buy a lithography studio.

Printmaking requires as much craft and technical ability as it does artistic ability. That mix appeals to me, and satisfies my creative side and the side of me that likes to design stuff and make stuff work. Printmaking and me are a match made in personal satisfaction heaven.

I haven’t painted in a long time, and that tends to be the medium for my more personal, just-for-me type of art anyway. Maybe if you come over to my studio (eg. garage) some day I’ll pull out some of the paintings and show you. Some times I do some web design stuff, and I may even make some web art some day, who knows?

Every print I make is hand made art. Each block is carved by hand, inked by hand, and printed by hand. Each one is an original. Enjoy it.
