Ty is a self-taught neo-conceptual fine artist from Shreveport Louisiana specializing in illustration & exploring surreal, metaphysical themes rooted in the concept of duality: dark and light, as above, so below. 

Widely acclaimed for creating detail-oriented works of art with compelling visual story-telling, his goal to simply inspire the world around him is achieved by provoking viewers to use imagination & childlike wonder to connect intimately with art through his design philosophy - CHUTZCRAFT. To be creative, one must become creative. 
 

 "I like to juxtapose the ordinary & unorthodox into something familiar yet foreign. Mixing and matching is my game."

Outside of the creative world of art, he enjoys creating music under an alias called RUNSABER & occasionally performs live sets of his tracks, along with attending music concerts & festivals with his friends, peers and collaborators. 
There is also the burning passion for botanical sciences. He hopes and aspires to blend his lifestyle with a greener symbiosis between plants, herbs & natural medicine. 
His mother's psoriasis condition inspired him to look deeper into treating ailments such as diabetes, arthritis & gout. 
When there is time to wind down, there is manga for him to enjoy & two of his favorite games are currently Destiny 2 & DOOM.
