I've been working as a professional artist since I was 17. Starting as a theme park caricature artist, I've had the opportunity to learn from some of the greatest caricature artists in the country. This has helped me develop into one of the top caricature artists in western New York. On top of my local work, I've traveled all over the country to both draw and train other artists.
My first couple years of college were spent attaining a degree in graphic design. The next two years were spent getting my Bachelors in fine art, concentrating on drawing and painting. While working on my bachelors, I also completed courses from the Joe Kubert School for comic book illustration.
It's always been important to me to be well rounded. After 8 years of theme park caricatures and a few of them spent managing numerous other art operations... I've moved on to focusing on my freelance work. For the past 7 years I've done freelance graphic design for a local t-shirt printer, Extreme Streetwear. Other noteworthy clients I've done graphic design for include advertising companies Twin Advertising and Edgewise. I've done illustration for the web-based Sci-fi magazine Baen's Universe. I'm currently the penciler for the comic book Thoughtless, published by Northern Lights Comics and i've also penciled, inked, and colored many ashcans and promotional comics; some that have yet to see print.
I'm also working as a party artist drawing caricatures in the Rochester and Buffalo area for any event.
