Born in 1979 in Illinois USA, he earned his BFA degree from the American Academy of Art in Chicago. The artist cites an article about daily painting as inspiration for his prolific career. His photobook Squared, published in 2011, features works from throughout his oeuvre and is available on Amazon. Naples still lives and works near Chicago, IL.
