The Story
Artist at heart, business in mind, and of a creative nature.
Dylan entered formal art training early on where his studies progressed from drawing, watercolors, collage, and oil painting. Concurrently he was also being well versed in music through school choir, band, plays, and private instrument lessons. Continuously sketching for fun, to expend energy, and focus technique, which would go on to fill up books for the archives
He begun a chapter in which he would photograph or film with major brands and recordings artists, perform live visuals, as well as produce large scale events. Seeking more hands on Dylan began to direct and film music videos along with touring the USA, designing/constructing stage designs, organizing festivals & local events.
He has worked directly with, shared a stage, or collaborated with a range of artists including Bassnectar, Glitch Mob, Phife Dawg (A Tribe Called Quest), David Starfire, Mochipet, B-Legit, Too Short, DJ Toure (Hieroglyphics), Richie Rich…
Some of the brands and organizations include Canal+, Architecture for Humanity, Universal Pictures, Mongoose Bicycles, Kali Protectives, Loud! Records, & more…
Dylan always evolving with gallery shows featuring original art works, books of poetry and illustrations, music production collaborations, as well as acting in several music videos and feature length major motion pictures.
