Creative Problem Solver with 25 years experience developing visuals for the little guys—and sometimes a few of the bigger ones, too.

BIO

I grew up immersed in TV, animation, film and comic books. Eventually, I would get involved in graffiti culture which not only led me to some legal and personal troubles but also to my calling in life—to be a creative, rebellious force for good while constantly honing my skills and feeding my talents.
