I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

About US!We are a husband and wife art team. We met at Otis College of Art and Design and have been creating art (aside from everything else!) together ever since! We have 2 beautiful children and live in Ventura County, California. They are truly the reason why we work so hard everyday. It's been a rough journey so far, but completely satisfying and a real learning process. We're both interested in almost every facet in art. From comics (the first words between us was "So, you like comics?"), to fine art, to illustration and design, art is one of the biggest parts of our life. Nice to meet you.
