About Me…

Hey, thanks for dropping by. Come on in and belong…

From my earliest childhood drawings to my 15+ years in full-time Illustration and design fields, a consistent theme has driven me: Catch the vision, Drag it into reality, Have fun doing it. Sometimes that means the excitement of a soul project or front line product design with your name on it going worldwide - other times it’s the oblivion of production work - and everywhere in between.

I wasn’t an exceptional artist early on, but I wanted to be, so I did it - and at the age of five if you just do something consistently people will notice. I put myself out there artistically at school so I was the class artist, and it felt better than I knew at the time. My acceleration came at the age of 14 when I was looking at a blown out photograph that had been reduced to stark black & white, the shading became an entropy of pointillism. I thought “If I just put the ink where it is in that photo, my drawing should look like that photograph.” And it did. I applied relative-distance to all of my art and the keys to designing anything fell into place.

I pursued art at Golden West Community College, Art Institute Santa Ana (since closed), and in the real world. My classes included The Business of Art, Interpersonal Communication, Life Drawing, Rendering, Page Layout and Design, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Web Design, Advanced Web Design, Intro to Web Animation, Cartooning, Jazz History and Appreciation, etc.
