I'm an artist and illustrator who lives in Davis California with my wife Regina, my best friend and favorite person in the world. I work primarily in the children's and young adult field.
After working for a number of years as an English as a second language teacher, a printer's assistant, editorial illustrator, and graphic designer, I decided to return to my first love, children's illustration. In 2010 I received Best In Show at the 2010 Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators California North/Central Conference for a new body of work with this goal in mind. I've since done work for such clients as Nickelodeon, Hungry Tiger Press and Cricket Magazine.
I also have had a long love and passion for comic books. You can see my comics on the comics publisher Top Shelf's site, Top Shelf 2.0 or in the Pictures section of this site, or you can buy my handmade comics in the Store.
My gallery work consists of studies from nature and images generated from my imagination. I've ocassionally shown my work atThe Pence Gallery where I've also taught art courses for children.
I am currently being represented as an author/illustrator by the greatest agent in the world, Abigail Samoun, at Red Fox Literary.
