I am a classically inclined pen & ink illustrator, with a penchant for dark, mystery, and horror themes. My experience has ranged from working with magazines such as Wired IT and Highlights, to publishers like Boyd's Mills & Kane and Penguin Random House. I have a deep appreciation of classic literature and strive to keep the old aesthetics alive with a healthy dose of modernity should the project require it. I cover all aspects of the illustrative process - conceptual, character/setting design, storyboarding, pencil tests, final inking, color if required, scanning, sizing, formatting, etc.
