Hi, thanks for visiting my website. I am an illustrator working out of the greater Seattle Area. I specialize in editorial, advertising, and conceptual illustration.
A Northern California native, I am a graduate of the Art Institute of Seattle class of 1993, and I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be an artist. My family was supportive of all my endeavors towards art. Much of my success is from the encouragement of my Father and family, who helped me paint murals on my bedroom walls and pushed me to work hard. And my Grandmother, who secretly entered my art in contests in the San Francisco Bay Area newspapers when I was a kid. All my childhood experiences play an intrinsic role in my work, exhibiting my quirky sense of humor that stemmed from my fascination of comic books, movies, and off-beat magazines. My heroes include Norman Rockwell, of course, N.C Wyeth, Frank Frazetta, Drew Struzan, and my close close friend, illustrator John Shroads. Everyday, I am continuously inspired by so many fantastic artists out there.
I also work in the game industry, with so many talented people, which I feel helps me keep on top of technology. I enjoy the variety of working in different types of software, although my main passion is simply kicking back with my dog by my feet, the music on, and painting away. Thanks again for visiting my site, and hope you enjoy the art.

I will soon have prints available for purchase.
