I've been doing illustration work for over 20 years now, I have professionally illustrated more than 70 published books, and I currently do freelance book illustrations for a number of publishers, both in the US and internationally. A lot of my work consists of children's book illustrations, but I also work on many other genres as well, and projects such as graphic novels, cartoons, comic books, etc., all both fiction and non-fiction alike. Some of my personal projects include the comic book series "DropNova" that tackles themes of time-travel, cosmic adventures, and facing the unknown, the cartoon series "Outrageous Outback," meant to help promote wildlife conservation paired with some light-hearted humor, and the ongoing "Body Planter Boy" series of spooky and kooky short stories. Along with my experience, I have a strong sense of design and creativity, whether it is for children's books, graphic novels, comic books, cartooning, storyboards, concept art, character design, graphic novels, etc. Whatever it is a client needs created, I love to help them bring what they envision to life! If you would like to see some of my work, please feel free to contact me or you can find some of my illustration work here at my online portfolio: _Website not available.
