Since joining NIAD Art Center in 2024, he has created a series of ceramic sculptures and works on paper inspired by animated film franchises, TV shows, and games. These playful scenes include precise renderings of familiar cartoon characters, often alongside or combined with figures from the artist’s personal life and imagination.
