Currently based out of Atlanta, Georgia, I'm an Army brat who grew up with a love for the strange and unusual. The work of fairy tale illustrator, Trina Schart Hyman, inspired me at a young age to pursue illustration.
I draw inspiration from many sources, including surrealism and imaginative realism. Some of my favorite artists include Jason Chan, James Jean, and John Jude Palencar. I also take much inspiration from the comic art and stories of David Mack, Joseph Michael Linsner, and Neil Gaiman.
