About
I'm a Toronto-based Illustrator who specializes in both digital and traditional art. I graduated at Humber College for "Visual and Digital Arts" and later on graduated at Seneca College for "Independent Illustration". I started drawing from an early age, inspired by 90's cartoons and anime. I have been drawing traditionally for 18 years and onwards, while drawing digitally since August 2011.
During my spare time, I enjoy my daily dosage of animated shows and comics. I love designing my own characters and strive to make things that peak my own interests. My hands are always moving, coming up with original ideas. -
