Simply put, it was my early childhood love of cinema that led to me doodling for life . Even though at the time I may not have consciously known the alchemy behind storytelling, I certainly felt its effects. Every time I bore witness to a film that blew my mind and imagination, I would scurry home as fast as humanly possible and drew all the things that made me light up inside out onto any scrap of paper I could find. My personal work today is an attempt to recapture that feeling, to hopefully immerse the viewer in the gleeful wonderment that is still possible well into adulthood. A connection between the inner and outer world, the innate love of characters and timeless tales, the tenderness and the bittersweet colliding all at once. These are the things I live for. As for the bread and butter, I've had a colorful career thus far working freelance with clients as diverse as Warner Independent to They Might be Giants, onwards to Genentech and the CW network.
