Born- 1985

Autobiography - I've been drawing everything from dinosaurs to robots since I was little.
In social situations I tend to hear that I've had an unfair advantage by attending art schools but I can tell you now, that simply isn't true. All it takes is practice, though, having a mind obcession with your subject matter doesn't hurt either.
I graduated, best print portfolio, from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, Spring 2008, with a Bachelors of Science in Illustration. While attending I participated in various gallery shows and even walked away with a ribbon or two. Originally an Animation student until two years in when the Illustration department was founded. I mutinied the very next quarter. Shortly after I attended a mildly insane painting class where, for homework, I painted my newfound obsession, Jackalopes. Teasing, singing, and random hilarity ensued until the Illustration department mascot was born.
While attending school I met the most wonderful man, whom I currently reside with in south Florida.
