About me:

I'm a self-taught illustrator with a penchant for monsters and the macabre. Drawing from a childhood weaned on horror comics, detective novels, trashy films, and retro sci-fi, my brush and ink work hearkens to an older era. That juxtaposition of old sensibilities for crafting line and a footing in current color and design trends make my work unique.
