My love of art came very early in life. In Kindergarten I won a poster contest by drawing a Ninja Turtle. I also have memories of being introduced to different influential artists and musicians by my parents. Most notably being given an old King Crimson album cover and being told to "...stop drawing cartoons and try drawing stuff like this." I also remember taking a long car ride with my Dad to find a huge book of Dali work, because he thought I needed to see the Dali piece Tuna Fishing and none of the local stores carried a book that had it. I attended Indiana University and obtained a Bachelor's in Studio Art with a concentration in Visual Communication and also a minor in Art History.
I've been freelancing in the entertainment industry for 5 years and am well versed in both print and web based media. I'm always looking for new projects so feel free to get in contact via one of the avenues below.
I also offer silkscreen printing exclusively to all my apparel design clients.
I run my own clothing brand called Lead & Light.
