creĀDDive (krē-Ā-div) has spent a lifetime diving into diverse artistic mediums, driven by the boundless curiosity that comes with having ADD. His latest works blend modern tools like digital illustration with traditional techniques such as woodblock printing and sculpture, creating a playful fusion of old and new. A native of New Jersey, his studio has proudly been based in the Hyattsville Arts District for nearly 20 years.

Ever since creĀDDive was a child, doodling in class near the Jersey shore, he’s known he wanted to be an artist. His journey since has taken him all over the world. 

His work is graphical in nature, taking form in mediums both created with his own digits and digital tools alike. It revolves around communication and storytelling for the masses. 

He was diagnosed early on with A.D.D. before it was cool, and views it as a superpower. Medication, caffeine, and sickness can turn him into a mere mortal, but he relishes the inevitable return to its warm, chaotic embrace. 

His family and friends have been incredibly encouraging throughout life and he cannot imagine where he’d be without their support. He is thankful for the wonderful people that surround him.
