In
the early years of his life, Deph was overwhelmed by the look,
the smell, and the style of art so bad
he could taste it. He knew he had to have his hands on it. His
early exposure to art came from many artists
growing up. From there he soon picked up a spray can and began
to find a medium he loved. Graffiti and music
have become major influences in his art today. Still to this
day he strives to find new techniques in his art that will
influence someone the same as the artist that have inspired
him. He is a self taught and well motivated artist.
Deph prefers a mixed media that is very smooth like sheet metal
to a very rough texture surface of old wood.
Deph has created many illustrations and paintings that have
been displayed on toys, cars, movies, video games,
skateboards, snowboard outerwear, t-shirts, posters, print ads,
and many more. His work has been shown
in many galleries and events across the US. He carries a well
known portfolio of work that he has done for many
companies and corporations such as: Disney, Shorty’s,
Circa Footwear, 686 Enterprises, Kidrobot, Urb Magazine,
Transworld Magazine, Mazda, Coachella Music Festival, Peta2,
The Healing Art Foundation to name a few.
When he is away from the canvases and walls his concentration
is behind his clothing company called,“To Die For”
where his ideas and designs become walking canvases for hardcore
kids and many others who endorse it. Thanks
for your interests in my work.
