Have Pencil, Will Draw

About Me

I'm the Marketing Manager for a national metals distributor who just can't let go of the dream to one day work in comics. I have a background in graphic design, illustration and an assortment of "fine" arts. But my one true love is the comics medium. Big Dog Studios is the name I've taken to share my work with a much wider audience than I thought possible. It's been a lifelong dream to someday work, in just about any capacity, in the medium that fuels my imagination and sparks my creativity.

My Interests

Comic Books, art, music & sports; Newsarama, Comic Space, Pencil Jack, Digital Webbing, Gutter Zombie & Comic Space

I'd like to meet:

Fellow creative types; Newsarama addicts, Comic Bloc, Digital Webbing, PencilJack, Comic Space & Gutter Zombie members; Industry professionals who can shed the light on the creative process and push me to become a better artist; people who aspire to use their abilities in whatever manner presents itself to them...

Music:

Way too many to list!

Movies:

Television:

Books:

I prefer Comics!
