About Me

I am an illustrator, as well as an avid fan of folklore, mythology, religion, history, fantasy and science fiction.

My work has appeared in a good many role-playing games and wargames. Role-Playing games are all fine and good, but ultimately restrictive towards the creative process (even moreso nowadays).

As an artist, I want to tell stories. I want fables, channeled through me and onto the page. For the deeper elements to be expressed through my labors and whims.
