I've been making things for as long as I can remember.

I've been tattooing professionally full-time since 2009, but I've never been interested in working in just one medium. Illustration, graphic design, photography, watches, aviation, history, firearms, and the craftsmanship behind well-made tools all find their way into the same sketchbook.

Draw & Fade Studio is where all of those interests live under one roof.

The Design Studio is where ideas become illustrations, branding, and visual identities.

The Trading Co. is home to apparel, prints, and thoughtfully designed goods inspired by the things I love.

Oddity Tattoo is where I've spent more than fifteen years helping people carry meaningful artwork with them for life.

Signal Watch Shop is an ongoing restoration project built around the appreciation of mechanical watches, industrial design, and the stories they carry through generations.

History has always been one of my greatest sources of inspiration. Many of my projects begin with research, whether it's military history, aviation, vintage advertising, Americana, or the evolution of everyday tools and equipment. I don't chase trends—I chase stories worth telling.

That same appreciation for craftsmanship extends to firearms, watches, tattoo machines, cameras, and any tool built with purpose. I'm fascinated by the intersection of engineering, function, and design, and by the people who created these objects to solve real problems. The best designs don't just look good—they earn their place through purpose.

Everything you'll find here is connected by the same philosophy: make honest work, stay curious, keep learning, and leave things better than you found them.

Whether I'm restoring an old Seiko, designing a shirt, drawing traditional flash, researching a historical subject, or building a brand from the ground up, I'm happiest when I'm creating something with my hands.

Draw & Fade isn't one medium.

It's a working studio built around curiosity, craftsmanship, and a lifelong appreciation for history, design, and the objects that stand the test of time.

Whether you're here for a tattoo, an illustration, a piece of apparel, or simply to follow along, welcome.
