“Along with my wife and two cats, I’m a resident of Indianapolis, Indiana where I work (Art Director) and live (Artist).
Designing by day. Makin’ art by night.”

My background is crowded with fine art and design, so my artwork is a happy marriage between the two. From piece to piece, the work might stray further to one side or the other, but never too far.

A friend of mine started a project that revolved around what adults wanted to be when they were kids. From ninja astronauts to water park owner, there were some pretty fantastic answers. To be honest, I can't remember anything before artist. Which brings me to today. While the "when I grow up" collaboration was a short-term project, every person that I illustrated had a pretty fantastical job picked out when they were kids. None that I remember were anything close to what they actually ended up doing for a living.

Currently, I'm getting ready to start on a new series that blends illustration with photography....I should be releasing them to the wild in the next few months.
