A little bit about myself. I've been a professional artist for 20 years and most of that time has been spent working in games. The first job I landed after graduating with a BA in Illustration from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design was with Sucker Punch Productions on their hit series “Sly Cooper". After launching "Sly 3" and working at some other start-ups, most notably Loose Cannon Studios, I ended up at PopCap Games. PopCap provided me the opportunity to become art lead and art director on several games, like "Solitaire Blitz" and "Plants vs Zombies: Heroes". After I left PopCap, I joined the “Spongebob Squarepants: Krusty Cookoff” mobile games as their lead animator. During the pandemic, I worked for Titmouse Animation on the Disney Junior shows, “T.O.T.S” and “Pupstruction” as a storyboard artist. More recently, I've been Freelance storyboarding on the new “Concert Events” for Fortnite. My creator-owned comic series, “Hominids” can also be found at Webtoons where I developed and designed all the characters and world within. Needless to say, I love world-building and designing believable yet fantastic worlds.
