United States
I am a Comic artist and Illustrator. Born, raised and residing in New York City, I love making art, and drawing is my passion.
I studied Fine Art at The High School of Art and Design in NYC from 1998-2001. I then attended The School of Visual Arts to study Cartooning / Illustration from 2002 - 2005.
Attending SVA allowed me to learn about comics from fellow talented students and some of the industry’s best professionals. A few of my professors include: Walter Simonson, Tom Hart, Klaus Janson, Yuko Shimizu, Sal Amendola, Jack Harris, plus many more talented individuals.
As an ongoing personal project, I draw a comic titled: The Renegades.
Other than comics and art, I enjoy learning how to play guitar, going to the movies, making people laugh, working out at the gym, playing X-Box 360 and going to rock concerts.
I do take commissions so feel free to contact me.
