I’m an illustrator and visual effects artist. A lot of my inspiration comes from folk tales, video games, and having grown up in the middle of the home computer explosion of the late 70′s.

In my diminishing spare time, I can be found drawing, brewing beer, or playing video games.

My illustrations can be found in Sara Wilson Etienne‘s YA novel Harbinger, among other places.

My visual effects work can be seen in many films, including The Golden Compass, Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk and X-Men: First Class.

I also love Elephant Memory Systems.
