ABOUT
ABOUT ME
I'm a southern California kid that never grew up. My art is influenced by Saturday Morning cartoons, comic books, music, Halloween and all types of animation, TV and film.
I began my professional career in 2012 as a caricature artist for a company called Goofy Faces LLC that was located in the
Los Angeles Zoo. After that
year I started illustrating and caricaturing as a free-lance artist and have been independent ever since.
WHAT I DO
I am a freelance art professional illustrator, story artist, animator, designer and caricature artist.
I work in all types of mediums from digital to traditional.
I love sketching, designing and creating stories, my work has been featured in local galleries, festivals and merchandise.
