Hello, friend! When I was young, I was so addicted to drawing that my brother would exploit me by selling me copy paper for 3 dollars a sheet. Now he is an economist and I am a starving artist. I also wonder how I had the money to buy such expensive drawing paper.

About:

I grew up in Chatsworth, California. After studying illustration and marketing at Washington University in St. Louis, I took a job at American Greetings designing funny greeting cards. On nights and weekends, I illustrate children's books, album covers, editorial stories, and do craft and gallery shows inbetween. Aside from work, you can find me somewhere around Shaker Heights, OH (probably eating something delicious).
