Thank you for taking the time to look over my work! It's definitely a pleasure sharing it. I've always drawn, but once I discovered comic books in my early teens, I became motivated towards a career in illustration. I've since widened my interests to visual design for both films and games using Photoshop and have even taken up a touch of modeling using Zbrush and 3DS Max. My 5 year plan? Games; Specifically environment work for MMOGs. 10 year? Teaching - my mentors set a great example by passing forward and I would like to do the same one day.

Of course, we can't talk aspiration without listing a little inspiration. Below are my most notable

Heroes:
Michael Turner, Adam Hughes, Scott Campbell, Al Rio and Jim Lee from comics; Ron Lemen, Glenn Rane, Lorland C., Linda Bergvist, Aly Fell, Randy Ottenberg, Reid Winfrey and Feng Zhu from traditional arts and design.

Play list:
Spacechem, Skyrim, Civ 5, Trine, GW2 (woot!) Terraria, Torchlight (coming soon!)

Most admired:

An artist's work is never done, so make sure you check back - you may find something new!
Best regards,
