About
I am a Creative Entrepreneur based out of Long Beach. I grew up in Denver and studied at the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design, and the Art Institute of Colorado. I moved out to California about 10 years ago to gain experience as an artist. I was a senior artist at the largest t-shirt company in the nation, Hybrid apparel from 2005 to 2014. I started my own t-shirt company Fresh Ink and learned the entire screen printing process. I am a published illustrator for books, comics, and posters. I am a professional muralist with multiple large scale works in the heart of the community. I was a member of the Art Exchange where I ran a gallery called The Rogues Gallery. I have been exhibited in multiple galleries and have curated a couple shows. I have been commissioned for hundreds of freelance projects ranging from book covers, character design, gaming icons, and portraits. My goal is to work in a creative atmosphere that supports artistic individuality, collaborative learning, and provides me with unique challenges to overcome.
