Who I am and where I'm at:

I'm a 32 year old artist / illustrator / designer / animator living in the Palm Springs area, Cathedral City to be exact.

I'm not a company, nor am I looking to become one or part of one at this moment. Just looking to continue to work with good people on good projects.

I'm interested in doing more illustration work and continuing to advance my motion graphics and web career. My services are very broad. Go through my portfolio, you'll see for yourself.

I am constantly working on my personal projects and art work. I contribute a good deal of my time and services to charity organizations and am always looking to lend my services when time permits.

Most recently (November 24, 07) my little sister passed away at the age of 28 of Cystic Fibrosis. THough even before this event CF and Terrets (which my brother has) are two charities I'm fond of and are close to my heart. Not to meantion HIV and AIDS research, and most anything Cancer associated. It's time to start seeing some real results and I hope I'm around to exprience that.


Other interests:

Though my interests are pretty broad in the work I'm currently doing, I'm always up for new challanges. Here are a few things that I've always been interested in designing/illustrating for. Skateboards, Surfboards, bed and bath products (pillows, wallpaper, beding, etc), tiles, glass, interior spaces, commercial or residential, supporting imagery for musicians and artists, pottery, anything new, any new materials.

If I haven't already done it I'm probably interested in doing it. If I've already done it, I can't wait to do it again.
