BIO: I was born Sept. 1st 1981 into a military family, but fortunately both of my parents encouraged my artistic curiosity since childhood. My father was stationed in England, where I grew up until the age of 13. After that, my family moved to Las Vegas where I began to teach myself informal techniques of painting and illustration. I was very interested in comics and video games (still am) and a desire to be a part of that drove me into taking art seriously as a career. When I was 23, I took an interest in digital art, and found the transition to be easier when I learned to approach various programs with similar principles as a canvas. After entering the Air Force myself at the age of 24 and shortly after separating due to asthma, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue art. Outside of artwork, I also spend a lot of time reading sci-fi, watching horror movies, playing video games and performing music.
