Overview
I am a professional book cover illustrator who is a working from the East Coast of the states. My work is heavily inspired by nature and human connection. I have worked for a variety of clients through-out my time as an illustrator.My position is as the bridge between your work and your audience. I am here to command their attention in this busy market place so that you may compel their hearts!I love getting the chance to bring my clients world to life. It is my goal to be able to pull an image down to its most base essense and desired emotional response and then build it back up so that every element pushes and pulls in that direction. I love to be able to experience what is happening in my paintings first hand so that I can feel the pulse of the painting. Good painting is like poetry; the richest experiences come from packing a dense amount of experience and information into the fewest strokes.I believe in an open process so that you and I can be on the same page at all times, working together to compel our audience to action.I am ever indebted to my authors!

(over 3 years)
As lead Illustrator at Poly Want A Pixel, I was reading minds, forging content, and at the forefront of professional quality Illustration. We were creating splash screens, character designs, background art, and cover material on a daily basis. It was here that I learned diversity and the back and forth of working on someone else IP - extracting the best, and creating exactly what was needed.

I offer illustration and cover design services to publishers and authors. I love working in sci-fi and fantasy, but I am more than happy to venture out into whatever genre is available if my style is the perfect fit! I have worked with authors, publishers, directors, game developers, and table top game publishers.
I have worked on many projects at Universal pictures and in the Hollywood scene.
