A true artist at heart while growing up, not having a solid outlet for my passion, I explored art in the graffiti scene. With that I found more formal outlets and learned to love typography, color theory and composition. Constantly refining my illustration, story boarding, comic book art, painting and sculpting skills. I am comfortable in both a leadership/management role and/or production and design. Currently working on a clothing line as well as creating original intellectual properties for film, television, video games and action figures/sculpts.
