Since before he could walk or talk, Tyler has loved all aspects of art and has pursued it at the cost of nearly everything else. After high school, however, Tyler took a brief hiatus from art to serve in the military for 23 years. Most of that time was spent abroad in Special Forces, where his experiences cultivated both his world view and aesthetic.  Tyler’s artwork is subsequently found in some of the most dangerous places on the planet.
Much can be learned about an artist by what they create. After viewing Tyle’s paintings, sculptures, or tattoos, his style is instantly recognizable. Varying with depiction, his artwork is bold and fierce. Tyler prefers the strong contrasts of colors of chiaroscuro, often mixing the ornate, grandeur and richness of the Baroque period along with elements of Art Nouveau, and sometimes Surrealism, resulting in the quintessential look and feel very few can achieve.
