Oni Attended a vocational high school where he studied data processing and graphic design, which is still present in his works today.After moving to Boston in 1996 Oni’s interest in photography started, working with various models and lighting techniques the roots to his artwork begun. In 1998 Oni started working on large mixed media pieces with acrylic paint, charcoal, and pen and ink pointillism. Once he worked out his technique with pointillism larger pieces atarted to appear. After some turbulence in 1999 Oni left Boston in favor for New York City where he started to send postcard sized originals to various galleries, 4 weeks later he was contacted for his first exhibit. 1999 Also saw the start of “The Book Of Ascension” and several recording projects. 2002 featured Oni at his height, doing 5 or 6 exhibits a month in 3 or 4 different states, starting Shinto Room Studios, and the “Bring The Noise” event (along with Shepard Fairey from Obey).
