Since drawing from a very early age, I have found inspiration in cartoons and comic art. My current art style reflects these roots and has enabled me to develop strong visual communication skills in my design layout. I enjoy both the computer and traditional mediums for my illustration and design work, and I try to incorporate both whenever I can.
I enjoy working with pen & ink, pencil and paint because they bring an authentic physical texture to digital art. By utilizing both traditional and digital techniques I can create more unique, successful designs.
