About
I graduated from Pratt Institute and continued my studies at DPSI, with illustrator David Passalacqua. For 20 years, I was Creative Director of an NYC communications firm. I am now a freelance designer.
I am a World Trade Center survivor from the 89th floor of WTC1. My experiences on 9/11 inspired my wife to purchase me a sketchbook, as a way to refocus my energy on my passion. From this was born The Bus Drawings project. Simply put, all of the enclosed drawings were produced while riding commuter buses. -
