I've been illustrating as far back as I can remember and inspired mainly by fantasy art (Frazetta, J Allen St.John, Bernie Writeson, etc.).
A traditional artist most of my life I began working as an illustrator at 19.
In the mid 90's I was introduced to digital art and began coloring my work using PS.
After using a mouse for about 10 years, I finally discovered my first Wacom tablet and things have changed for me completely. I now do all my sketches, inking, painting, coloring on a computer. It beats having to buy all sorts of art supplies and it's not as messy as traditional painting.

I mainly do concpet art (character and environments) and storyboards.I still enjoy comic art, and create "comic" style pieces every so often. SOme of my favorite comic artists are
Al Williamson, Frank Frazetta, Hal Foster, Bernie Writeson, Mike Mignola, Art Adams, Adam Hughes, Dave Stevens.

Some of my clients have been: Disney, United Artists, Bacardi, Truth Coca-Cola, ImagineFX magazine.

I have been featured in ImagineFX issues 7, 11, 12, and cover art for issue 14 .
