About Me

I'm a proud SF native, skater, & freelance illustrator. I make cardboard robot costumes, goofy puppets, corny T.V. shows, and slick comic books. I was raised on a strict diet of sloppy joes, malted shakes, action figures, puppet shows, and most importantly, my Grandma Jean's unconditional love. She made me peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and sliced chilled oranges while I watched Looney Tunes and Captain Cosmic. She allowed my imagination to blossom without restraint and always told it to me straight about how the world works.
