I am an illustrator. I tell stories and have a passion for characters. After earning a degree in IT and Communication/ Journalism, I knew I had to be drawing if I were going to be happy with my career, so I moved to Atlanta to study design and illustration at Portfolio Center. I quickly entered the freelance market and have since moved to the NYC area to continue my work.
I am inspired most by human form, shadow (lights and darks), and their potential to be dynamic. I've found that my most successful pieces are those that take advantage of that potential by creating flow and a sense of movement in the characters or lighting in each scene.

This is essentially a portrait of Brian Stelfreeze, a man who has been a mentor of mine while at PC. Brian is a comic book artist and with a name so similar to a popular Batman villain that he himself has drawn to make a living, I wanted to bring the two together even more by turning him into that character.
