My primary goal in this life has been to be a true artist. I have been creating artwork throughout various media for over twenty three years. I learned how to draw anything, I learned how to paint using traditional media, later on I became an expert with computers and digital media. I’ve been earning money as an artist since I was 16 years old.

To me a true artist never stops improving and always tries new techniques. Because of this I will always be working on this primary goal. I may focus on graphic design, illustration, web design or interactive media, but they will always draw me back to the focus of simply being an artist.

I can use the experience I have gained over the years to help you with your creative strategy. I am ready to brainstorm and develop concepts as well as art direct and manage the project from start to finish. I can lead others and work with a team and I can roll up my sleeves and get the production work done. On deadline. Always.

I live in San Diego, California and I work often in Los Angeles, California. I’ve lived in another country and I’ve visited a few places in the world so I have a unique perspective and experience.

About this web log:

Here–in addition to my portfolio–I’ll post (almost) daily info about art, design, technology, quick tutorials and resources; you will also find a comprehensive collection of the many types of illustration and design that I can do.

I am extremely versatile and I love to work using different media as much as possible.
