Summary
I am a freelance illustrator with an emphasis on characters and storytelling. I have been requested by clients such as Crystal Dynamics and the Mythbusters for my ability to capture a moment to tell a story, and have worked with them to create humorous and appealing illustrations based on their cast and characters. My emphasis in storytelling led me a 5 year personal project between February 2012-February 2017, "The Daily Drawing Project", where every single day without fail I created a single panel illustration telling a story, and my current personal project, the webcomic series "The Evil Overlord (in training)". I have a strong background in digital illustration, though my current focus is traditional media with watercolors as I strive to constantly add to my artistic arsenal.
