here are few things about me & what you'll find on this site....
i'm an artist. i've been illustrating part-time professionally since 1997 for various clients including white wolf, weird nj, wildside press and electric wine. you can find a sampling of those works in my portfolios. i've also had art published in several spectrum collections and with several webzines. i live on the east coast with my family & friends, many of whom are also artists- musicians, illustrators, fine artists, writers & storytellers.

i've always been drawn to horror & fantastic stories. i get a kick out of dark & mysterious things that bite, shock and intrigue you. my favorite author is stephen king. i just can't always wrap my mind around his stories- they're that terrifying! i've found inspiration in the artworks of frank frazetta, brom, donato, douglas carrel, matt stawicki, simon brewer, justin sweet, mark zug and many more. please check out my links area on this site to check out their sites along with other incredible artists. i am also a proud member of epilogue, asfa and elfwood, all of which are fantasy related. if you are interested in joining an online art group, i highly recommend checking them out. you can find their links & more in my links area.

most of the work you'll find on my site i created digitally using programs like photoshop 4.0 & painter 6. i work with an older mac g3 (macs rock!) with a graphic tablet & stylus. all of my programs are dated but all are trusty, reliable and well loved. i will normally start with a pencil sketch, scan it and open in photoshop and work it in layers, cleaning it up and sometimes using reference that i shoot myself or create using poser or bryce. i use painter to add brushwork and strokes. all my files are finished digitally and normally delivered to clients as an email attachment or sent snail mail on cd.

i do take on art commissions but my calendar fills quickly. if you're looking for an illustration please email me with the basic information - budget, size, deadlines- and we can go from there. i deliver art in high res digital file via snailmail or email. if you are interested in using an existing image for limited publishing rights, please email me. i can't work 'on spec', free or pending royalties. i just can't afford to do that. anything that takes time from my family & other jobs has got to be worth it. i know this is a blunt way of putting this and i apologize. i really do appreciate any invite to participate in breaking rpg's or the next great thing but i have to be practical when it comes to my time and supporting myself & my family. if i had 10 more hours a day and the energy to do it, i would be on board with everything & anything that came my way, paying & otherwise.
