HIRE ME
I have always loved creating art. As a child/ young adult my brother and I, along with some friends, would sit around for hours drawing at our kitchen table. I fully own the fact that comics, cartoons, movies, and toys were and still are a huge obsession and inspiration for me. I did not hesitate in the pursuit of my dream to become a professional artist. In December of 2000 I obtained a bachelor of fine arts degree in illustration from The Columbus College of Art and Design.
With over 20 years of experience as a graphic designer and illustrator I have had the opportunity to work with companies like Wild Republic, Darice, Marvel, Disney, National Geographic, WWF, Sea World, Tapout, and Faber Castel. I take pride in my versatility and ability to commandeer different styles and make them my own. My portfolio contains everything from illustration and product design, to album art creation and comic books.
Here are some random facts about me. I have never had a cavity. I love sports cars. I collect comic books, Hot Wheels, Sports cards, and Lego "Speed Champions" sets. I currently reside in a suburb of Cleveland, OH with his wife (Jenna), two daughters (Delaney and Felicia) and their goldendoodle (Milo).
My services are available upon request for illustration (children's books, poster art, cover art, etc), comic book art (covers and sequential), character design, toy design, product design (t-shirts, logos), and drawing (portraiture, pen & ink).
