Creativity can change the world.
I was raised in Northern Virginia and grew up enjoying the imaginative media, movies, TV, books, and comic books of the 80s and 90s. As a child I fantasized about creating my own worlds and characters and at age 14 started writing my own fiction on a small notepad. You can find a majority of my work on cyberwave.art.blog where I have over 200 self-published tales of the macabre, the mystical, and the futuristic.
I love writing about fantastic worlds, flawed heroes, relatable villians, strange monsters, futuristic tech, unexpected twists, unimaginatable horrors, and unexplained mysteries. I’m always interested in new and experimental ways to tell unique sci-fi, fantasy, and horror fiction that make the audience question their own humanity and beliefs while focusing on optimism and kindness. My philosophy is: “Enjoy art. Live art. Create art.”
While I’m not writing I’m feeding my creativity with horror movies, sci-fi video games, and fantasy novels, including the works of George R. R. Martin, Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Neal Stephenson, and the literary geniuses of Vonnegut, Shakespeare, and Poe.
Cyberwave.art.blog is a place where I can practice my craft and post concepts of the visions in my head. More projects coming soon!

Cool concept. It’s so unreal. There is an element of kitsch but elegantly used. I really like the intense over-saturation of color

Thank you. This really was just a weird experiment with color and whimsy.

I am afraid, in a way, to ask as I do not intend on insulting your work – – – but, I feel like there is a lot of playfulness that may go past most viewers. You using the word whimsy makes me think I’m getting the vibe. I did a series in horrid late eighties neon colors that clash and disturb. I found it fascinating how people react to them. They are not ‘nice’ or ‘normal’ which is the point. I try to get an emotional reaction rather than an I like it. I feel you are doing something similar. Am I heading in the right direction?
