(Artist)

For as long as I could draw I’ve had a passion for comic books. I began drawing in Jr High when a friend of mine gave me an Amazing Spiderman comic book..I didn’t even know I could draw at the time but the images literally jumped off the pages and I thought to myself, “this really is AMAZING!” I just sat down one day and began to draw what I saw on those pages and never stopped. Later in my high school years, I met my best friends to this day and we all shared this common interest in both art and comic books..the rest was history. Like many other comic book fans, we were inspired to produce our own titles and although the dream has not come to fruition yet, we are constantly updating and tweaking it to hopefully have all our hard work and ideas published. However, one of our ideas (Knight Fall) is currently on its way to being published as a video game! I am also working with a friend on a web based comic as well as a possible animated feature based on another web comic idea. My idols include some of comic books greatest: Jim Lee, J. Scott Campbell, Frank Cho, Marc Silvestri, Michael Turner, Talent Caldwell, Ed Benes, Terry and Rachel Dodson, Adam Hughes, Joe Mad and many, many more of the talented artists that bring the stories to life on those blank pages. This is my first year in Artist Alley and I am very excited and a little nervous but can’t wait!
