Dual Identity: Motion-Driven Superhero Concept (Commission Work)

A dual-identity superhero concept created as a commission work, built around contrast, motion, and emotion.

This character explores the balance between a quiet civilian life and a powerful, high-energy alter ego. As a shy athlete off the court, she transforms into a force that converts motion into pure kinetic energy.

The design focuses on dynamic movement, energy flow, and strong visual storytelling, supported by a consistent color palette and bold silhouette.

Tracy McGrady aka T Mac

This illustration captures the legendary presence of Tracy Lamar McGrady Jr., famously known as T-Mac, one of the most electrifying scorers in basketball history.

The artwork portrays McGrady in his iconic on-court stance, highlighting his tall, athletic frame, confident posture, and calm intensity that defined his playing style. Known for his smooth shooting motion, explosive drives to the basket, and effortless scoring ability, T-Mac became a symbol of creativity and dominance during his era in professional basketball.

2025 Portfolio | Engraving & Etching Style | Selected Tattoo Works

https://www.behance.net/gallery/245102381/Tattoo-Portfolio-2025-Engraving-Etching-Style

This portfolio presents my tattoo works from 2025, showcasing a strong focus on engraving, etching, and woodcut-inspired tattoo styles. My approach is deeply influenced by classical printmaking techniques, fine line textures, cross-hatching, high-contrast shading, and illustrative compositions that translate traditional art into contemporary tattoo design.

Alongside engraving and etching tattoos, my work spans a wide range of styles including cybersigilism, fine line tattooing, line work, minimal tattoos, black work, illustrative tattoos, symbolic and conceptual designs. I specialize in custom tattoo design, creating original artwork tailored to the body’s flow while maintaining clarity, balance, and longevity on skin.

My designs often explore themes of mythology, symbolism, spirituality, anatomy, nature, surrealism, and narrative storytelling. Each tattoo is carefully composed with attention to detail, line quality, negative space, and timeless visual impact.

This portfolio reflects my commitment to craftsmanship, originality, and artistic integrity—bridging classical art aesthetics with modern tattoo culture. Suitable for studios seeking an artist skilled in engraving-style tattoos, etching tattoos, woodcut tattoos, black ink tattoos, fine line work, custom illustration tattoos, and experimental tattoo styles.

Stronger Dog Eats More is a short comic scene set in a world where combat is not entertainment, but identity. This society is built around strength, discipline, and violence as cultural pillars. All citizens are trained in combat from a young age, yet only men are permitted to serve as “Servicemen” in the military—a revered role shaped by a matriarchal system that venerates women as givers of life, while men are forged into instruments of war.

The scene follows Nicanor, a young gamesman raised within the most feared and least respected combat house—an institution that promotes brutality, psychological conditioning, and cruelty as virtues. Through abusive training methods and a state known as war trance, gamesmen are stripped of mercy and reshaped into something closer to animals than soldiers. This moment captures a brutal sparring demonstration between Nicanor and an adult opponent, Ioan, witnessed silently by their house members as they eat from bowls like beasts. Victory is not celebrated with praise—only with sustenance. When the fight ends, the symbolism is clear: the stronger dog eats more.

Work in progress mural for Cupid Restaurant & Bar this January in Ja Ela, Sri Lanka.

1 artists. 3 days. 300sqft wall.
A Challenge but not an impossible one… as we ended up proving.
It all paid off in the end, and Mural was received very well by the visitors of the locations, as well as recieveing considerable fan coverage locally and internationally.

Special Thanks go out to and every member of my crew for making this happen.

Mural Dimensions: 30 ft x 10 m
Mural Area: 300 sqft
Spray Paint Used: Toa Spray Paint Cans , Smart Care Aqua Safe Waterproof Paints

Last Jan, The owners & Designers of Cupid, a Dining/commercial strip, approached my Graffiti entity, for creating art in their venue. Immediately I was intrigued by the challenge, and the size of it, as I have never dealt with this scale.
I wanted the mural to have a social cause and value, so I pitched to them the idea of using the massive wall to advocate for HipHop Wildstyle Graffiti. The designer were more inclined towards a pop art direction, so we developed the Mural artwork centered around recognized pop art elements, in order to appeal to visitors. I knew that we only had 3 days to actually spray the graffiti on the wall.
