About Me

Freelance Illustrator and cartoonist, based out of Pontiac, MI. I work in a variety of mediums, traditional and digital, but really love to get down and dirty with traditional ink and watercolor. After the 2008 recession, I left the College For Creative Studies in Detroit, MI to find my own way into the world of comics, cartoons, and storytelling.

While comics is my main focus, I enjoy painting, design work, and I am actively working toward doing more gallery work and shows.

What are your influences?

Some of my biggest influences range from Tarantino’s: Kill Bill, to the fantastical worlds of Studio Ghibli. I love delving often into the cyberpunk genre classics such as Masamune Shirow’s: Ghost in the Shell, and Katsuhiro Otomo’s: AKIRA.
