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. |
