About
I am a freelance illustrator with a passion for striking, original and thought-provoking drawings for posters, book/magazine covers, album covers, and any other venue where drawing can be used to enhance an experience.
--
Good illustration takes the impossible, improbable, or downright unsafe and twists it into an edible and understandable image. In my work, I try to capture the movement of these ideas which are mid-action and mid-thought. The viewer responds to the movement, and this creates a lasting image that transmits a powerful message.
It is that transmission that inspires me. -
