About this artwork

In the not-so-distant future, the ultimate battle between AI and humanity has begun. Knowing his ailing body won't endure the war, a man prepares by transferring his consciousness into a weaponized machine that can adapt to any environment by using its snake-like appendages to travel, recharge, and protect.

Christian's unwavering passion for creation has driven him to create many award-winning pieces throughout his life. His artwork has also been displayed at various exhibits and art shows since childhood, including three human hair sculptures at Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum; his published book, Wake the Wicked: Thirteen Twisted Tales, fulfilled his lifelong dream to write, publish, illustrate, and design a collection of short horror stories in late 2012. In late 2016 - early 2017, Christian's iMessage stickers, Gnome Sweet Gnome were featured on the front page of Apple's iTunes App store. Christian attended Luzerne County Community College and Marywood University, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, specializing in graphic design.
