Hey!
I'm an illustrator and concept artist currently situated in Mount Horeb, Wisconsin with my lovely wife Emily (also an illustrator: E-Figart.com) and my five guinea pigs Momiji, Patty, Cedric, Rufio, and Frances.

I'll try not to be pretentious, but I'm an illustrator because I love telling stories and creating characters. I love creating the worlds these characters live in and I find it very fulfilling that others also enjoy the things I create. Ultimately, I want to tell meaningful stories that make a difference and influence people's lives. . . but for now I don't mind drawing aliens, monsters, and guys with cool looking swords!

Currently I work full time as a Concept and 2d Artist at Raven Software in Madison. Before I got my job at Raven, I made my living doing freelance fantasy art (which I still do occasionally) for Wizards of the Coast. And before that, I was doing product design at the Franklin Mint in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Before that, I went to the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. . . aaaaaaannnnd before that I lived in Canton Michigan, and also Utica, Michigan... and I wanted to be a ninja and I had Superman underoos. . . and I liked Voltron. . .

I'm inspired by alot of things, but as far as artists... here's a list:
Yoshitoshi (Japanese ukiyo-e artist), J.C. Leyendecker, N.C. Wyeth, Arthur Rackham, Matt Faulkner, Kentarou Miura, Hiroaki Samura, Akira Kurosawa, George Lucas, Frank Frazetta, BROM, Katsuya Terada,Ralph McQuarrie, Ian McCaig, Katsuhiro Otomo, the Capcom artists, etc. ( I'll stop now). I'm also inspired by my colleagues and friends, and of course, probably the biggest influence on my life and art would be my wife Emily.

I'll add more later, this should be enough for now. . . enjoy the site!
