commissioned work for numerous amounts

abstract paintings and

logo designs;

there isn’t anything that Dominic will not attempt to create for his clients. He also had the privilege of meeting and having his Art signed by numerous celebrities such as actor’s Misha Collins and Jim Beaver (CW’s Supernatural), and heavy metal vocalist Jesse Leach (Killswitch Engage).

Apart from his Artwork, Dominic is also a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter. After constant inspiration and motivation from his Father (guitarist/songwriter) and Uncles (drummer and bassist), Dominic took an interest in learning guitar and drums - he later took it upon himself to learn bass guitar for Melbourne Rock band Chained Lizard. To expand his Musical knowledge, he commenced studying his Bachelor Degree in 2015 with Victoria University which he is due to graduate at the end of 2017. He has also been trained by well renowned musicians such as guitarist Raymond Smith and drummer Chris Quinlan.

Dominic is currently working as a freelance Artist/Graphic Designer, whilst studying for his Bachelor in Music. He is also in the middle of writing and recording his first album with Chained Lizard with the intention to release it within the next year or two; as well as working on his own Solo EP which is expected for an online release in October 2017. He has most recently been involved in acoustic duo work around the Williamstown & Yarraville area, playing little café gigs and also has been involved in a lead acting role in a short film.
