Chuck Jones, Jim Henson, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Stan Lee. My lifelong passion for and interest in creating art has been substantially influenced by these four undeniably ubiquitous titans in their respective fields, and incidentally, also the likenesses I'd carve on my own personal Mt. Rushmore.
Outside of both school and work (and even sometimes during if possible!), I immerse myself in drawing, painting, and digital art.
I consider portraiture, sequential art, and character-based illustration to be my main areas of expertise. I also have a great deal of familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop and Illustrator in particular). As a tangential extension of those skills, I've also stretched out beyond my proverbial 'comfort zone' to the frontier of web design and development, learning the ever-evolving ins and outs of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP (and beyond), and all of their nuances thereof.
All of the above is utilized to inform my work with the momentum and ambition to improve with each and every line, brush stroke, and/or pixel placement, and to propel each completed piece to a greater level of excellence than the one before it.
