About

I am a UI Artist, Graphic Designer and Traditional Artist with over 15 years of experience in design, as well as over 20 years as a Fine Artist. My preferred mediums are watercolor and acrylic paints, with a focus on Character Design / Worldbuilding / and Concept Art, as well as Pop Culture, Fan art and Impressionist Landscapes. My focus in Graphic Design has been on Corporate Branding, Creative Pieces and Promotional Items, with a specialty in Vector Illustration and Print Production. I currently operate my own successful Fine Arts / Design Business selling my artwork online, and at comic cons, with an emphasis on comic, game, anime and fantasy art.

I have recently graduated from a UI / UX Certification Course through ELVTR and instructed by Ivy Sang, UI/UX Director for Blizzard (home of Diablo, WoW and more!).

I am currently available for Remote / Contract Work.
