  • About

    At a very young age my passion for drawing unique imagery was stirred by comic book heroes such as Batman and Spider-Man and such films as Star Wars and Alien.

    Pursuing this passion of drawing I enrolled at the prestigious College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. There I would study and excel in such disciplines as Industrial Design, Art Direction, Graphic Design and Commercial Illustration. With honed talents and skills I set out to pursue my passion for conceptual design and make a name for himself in the creative arts industries.

    A successful conceptual designer and storyboard artist with a unique, slightly twisted imagination, creative abilities and sheer determination, I bring to the table a unique collection of experiences such as contributions as an art director with one of Detroit’s premier ad agencies, J.Walter Thompson and graphic designer with a national leader in the food industry, Little Caesars. With both national and regional advertising to my credit, my unique executions and successful product promotions have generated praise amongst my peers.

    As a Key Artist with the incredibly talented crew of Stan Winston Studio I would passionately participate in many diverse projects. Working along side one of my childhood heroes Stan Winston, designing for films such as After Earth, Small Soldiers and Galaxy Quest to studio promotional items such as holiday cards, crew shirts, and comic books, I made an impressive mark with my dedication and attention to detail.

    Displayed here in these pages are a small sampling of my personal projects and commissions, with work ranging from advertising to movie ‘fx’ to rock bands. If you would like to see more, share your comments, or discuss an upcoming project, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

    Thank you. Thank you vera much.
