I'm a designer, illustrator and animator. I've worked in print, multimedia and web. I worked as a game artist for the studio that made the Garfield comic strip. I worked for Poptropica.com as a sponsored game level artist. I work in vector and bitmap software. I also spent a year studying hand drawn animation at Don Bluth University and received a certificate of completion. I also illustrated and co-published a 76 page comic book using Kickstarter. 100 books were printed. I played D&D when I was a teen. And I'm a casual gamer on the Playstation 1, 2 and 3.
