As a visual artist, I have always tried to look at things from different points of view. Every medium has it’s own advantages and limitations, but it’s most liberating when you allow the pencil, paintbrush or pixel to lead the way and take you into uncharted territory. That kind of curiosity, plus my full-time work experience in Illustration, Graphic Design, and Animation layed a solid groundwork that introduced me to many projects involving airbrush, collage, TV titles, cartoon strips, computer animation, art direction, and tall ladders that carried me and a paint bucket to the top of my mural.

My background in Editorial Illustration taught me the importance of conceptual ideas, storytelling, and how it can enhance any particular art style. As an Animator I learned about the power and simplicity of cartoony, abstract shapes and how to give them movement and life, even in one still-frame! And whenever possible, I like to use humor, adding some nuance and dimension into the mix ;-)

These are a few reasons why I do what I do. In the end, I try for something that’s new, fresh, and hopefully memorable! There’s more to discover, and as always…the beat goes on!
