ABOUT

I grew up in an era where environmentally conscious mutants, sharks on rollerblades, and monsters who used toilet bowls as a viable means of transportation were a common sighting in your regular lineup of afternoon cartoons. The menagerie of bizarre creations that graced just about every form of entertainment that came with an admittedly uncool lifestyle captivated my imagination, inspiring me to create whimsical characters and imaginative new worlds of my own.

After spending a number of years in Chicago earning a degree in Illustration, I'm continuing my love and interest for the art of visual entertainment, pursuing work as a concept artist for the production of video games and animation.

One of the things I love most about illustration is the ability to communicate an idea without words, relying instead on a vocabulary of details, gestures, expressions and exaggerations to tell a story. But above all, it's the freedom to never let go of my imagination, no matter how old I get.
