Illustrator, Author, Entrepreneur, Designer, Geek
I am an illustrator and the Co-Owner of ZaPow! The Southeast's only art gallery focusing on illustration and pop culture art.
ATTENTION Art Directors and Editors!
I am available for illustration commissions.
Please drop me a line if you have a project that you would like me to illustrate.
I have two main styles. They are:
Labors of Love: Highly rendered illustrations with an eye to a painterly aesthetic. These take me about two weeks per illustration.
Pop Fun: These take me between 45 minutes to 2 hours and are an irreverent homage to pop artists and cartoons and usually have a snarky quip that goes a long with them. Amusingly enough these are the paintings & prints that usually sell the fastest.
