LET ME TELL YOUR STORY.

My passion is storytelling through visual mediums, working mostly with comics, animation and puppetry. I have a background in ancient studies and mythology which aid me in my work. As a storyteller, I believe all great stories and characters come from mythology. A student of Joseph Campbell (through reading), I create my characters based on mythic archetypes. I believe in multi-layered character driven stories that allow me to create in-depth stories.

In addition to my background in mythology, I have a background in humor. I feel humor is the best medicine and try to incorporate it into my daily work. Humor has led me to create many single panel gag strips. The single panel is fun for me because I find it to be a challenge to create a joke in one image and I do enjoy a challenge.

As an artist my influences are vast and take things in from everything I experience. When I work on your story I will use my experience and expertise to tell your story to the best of my ability. If needed, I can write the script, develop your characters and illustrate the story or I can work on a specific part of your project, the choice is yours.

Though I work in a variety of styles, most people prefer my normal style as it has a feel of nostalgia, yet keeps up with modern trends.

Please note, I review all work before I take on a project and may refuse it if I do not feel I can do it justice. For my reasonable rates please contact via e-mail or phone which can be found here.
