Profile

As early as Kindergarten I remember being interested in drawing and painting. Anytime the easel was available during activity time I made an immediate bee line to it’s vicinity. By the first grade I was creating illustrated stories on my Big Chief note paper and stapling the pages together to give out to various friends. I still have a couple of them. They’re so bad they’re good. By the 6th grade I decided I was going to be a full time illustrator. Getting paid to draw stuff seemed like a decent way to make a living. I would find out if this was true or not upon graduating from the Colorado Institute of Art in the fall of 1986. Since that time I have worked in the a variety of assignments from the editorial world to the commercial and corporate realm. These projects range from pen and ink work with comic books to fully painted illustrations for magazines, trading cards, children's books, and fun stuff like that. I enjoy working with pen & ink, pastels, gouache and oil paint. These days I’m at the easel painting as much as I am at the drawing table penciling and inking. I want to be making pictures as much as I can. Although the days of getting a call for a job and sitting down with the art director to discuss it is pretty much gone I still get a thrill out of getting an email query regarding potential work. I miss the face to face interaction but I do still enjoy being able to meet the client’s needs and deliver a competent piece that will please them and do the job it needs to. Turns out I was right. Getting paid to draw stuff is a pretty fun way to make a living. If you have a project in mind reach out to me and let’s see if we can bring it to life.
