I have been classically trained throughout high school and college as a fine artist, majoring in traditional oil painting, print making and drawing. I still look forward to someday keeping my own fine arts studio, but for the time being it seems that drawing is my most marketable trait. It integrated me well into the animation industry where consistency and speed is super important.

Since then I have worked as a storyboard artist and production designer on a few big international narrative animated productions, and as an all round Illustrator …I even worked as a tattoo artist for a while...

All things considered, I love what I do and will find a way to do it however my canvases and mediums may vary.
