About Me


This is an upcoming project of mine that's in the works, I can't say much about it now, all I can say is I have a great creative team lined up for the book, one of which is my wife, Danita!!I'm a freelance inker/illustrator, right now I'm concentrating more on my illustration work and currently working for Lightningage Studios, in association with Ape Entertainment, illustrating the upcoming book, Nick Storm Monster Hunter series due out next year. You can see my inks appear on issues one and two, and I take over illustrating on three and four. Some companies and studios I've worked with are Frontier Publishing, Morpheus Forge Entertainment, Digital Webbing, Branch Smith Publishing, Strateia Studios, and cd covers for bands from Kill-o-matic Productions and Big Time audio productions, mostly local or independent work. Also numerous commission pieces.I'm married to my beautiful wife Danita, and we have two wonderful children that we love very much. I'm also a very direct and blunt person who loves to speak my mind no matter what anyone thinks. I love spending as much time with my wife and children as possible, and especially with my wife. Friends are important but not necessary as long as I have my faith, wife, children, and my artwork I'm happy. They are my inspiration for my art work, and my wife is my Muse. Comics are like my beer and sports as long as I can go to the comic store, browse, and buy new comics, I could die happy. I'm a very simple man and there's more to me but I don't feel like boring you, plus I hate typing so I'm done. Here's a Nick Storm piece inked by me, and penciled by my good friend Kris Cagle! These pieces were done by my good friend Bob LeFevre, and inked by Me!!!

My Interests

My wife, my children, my comic work, music, film, and toys.Here's an Ascension piece I did quite a while back, it's one of my favorites, colors were provided by my good friend Drew Liedtke!..This is a shining example of people's misunderstanding of what Inkers do! I have the utmost respect for all inkers and tracers, Ha bitch! So when I'm inking a book, I don't really give a damn what people call me, all that matters is the product I'm putting out, but thank God I'm illustrating more books now. Plug, Nick Storm Monster Hunter out next year.

I'd like to meet:

Kevin Smith, Vin Diesel, Scott Stapp, Rob Zombie, Criss Angel, Eddie Vedder, Jonathan Davis, Sully Erna, Josh Brown, Mark Tremonti, Jason Lee, Tyler Perry, Quentin Tarantino, Bruce Campbell, Christopher Walken, Bill Murray, Fred Durst, Todd McFarlene and pretty much all comic creators and artists I admire.Anyone and Everyone!!!

Music:

This is one of my favorite songs to draw to, and it's also a song that goes along perfectly when someone pisses me off or disrespects My wife or family!!!
