About Me

Let's see where to begin...By day I'm an assistant art director/graphic designer & by night, I'm also an artist. I started way back the day when cartoons were cool and gas was dirt cheap. I attended and graduated The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. When I graduated in '97 I started to do various freelance work (paintings, colors black & white) for independent comic book companies and publishers. Then I did some freelance work for Marvel comics. I did some production work, a couple paintings, colored carious covers and painted some trading cards. Some never got published, but I will try again someday soon. For a year I did production work by translating Manga (Japanese comics) into English (no I don't speak Japanese). After that went south, I went into graphic design to pay the bills for now. I also was a DJ for a number of years, hence I still have a music page up. It was fun while it lasted. So I decided to get back into what my real passion was, my art. My passion is to draw comic books, paint book covers, posters and anything to deal with comics. My dream someday is to produce my comic book graphic novel and make it to Hollywood. To this day, I still read comic books and graphic novels. You fuckers think just because a guy reads comics he can't start some shit!? My biggest influences are Arthur Adams, J. Scott Campbell, Steve McNiven, John Romita Jr, Jim Lee, Chris Bachalo, Frank Miller, Jim Cheung, Simon Bisley, Adam Hughes, Terry Dodson, Kevin Smith, Joe Quesada, Oliver Coipel, David Mack, Joss Whedon, Dave Mckean, Neil Gaiman, Bendis, Alex Ross, Bernie Wrightson, Simon Bisley, Frank Frazetta, Glenn Fabry, Tim Bradstreet, Joe Chiodo, Marc Silvestri,....just to name a few. Some of my art can be seen below. I do commissions if requested, just email me and ask!
