“When I was a kid, I loved losing myself in fantasy stories. These tales brought me to new and exciting places while introducing me to interesting people and creatures. I could fade away from my surroundings and enter the fantastic. I felt the sorrow, cringed at the horror, and basked in the characters’ successes. When I draw, I try to create these emotions for others to experience and enjoy. My greatest joy is watching a face light up after seeing my art, because that means I’ve achieved my goal.”

Special event portraiture

A portrait embodies the spirit and passions of an individual. Wether that passion is through certain film, animation, or comics I have created portraiture of individuals that includes them into the worlds that mean so much to them.

Illustration

All of my paintings strive to tell a tale in a single image. A look through my gallery will show you the creatures and characters I’ve created to tell my stories.

COMIC ART

A comic is a collaborative medium that tells a tale through visual storytelling. I both create self-contained stories and promote upcoming films using this art form.

STORYBOARD Art

Utilizing visual storytelling, I  bring to life the shots a director has envisioned for commercials, film, or animation. Clearly showing the intent of the story being told, storyboards save time and money during shoots.
