About
Growing up in Newport News VA, I played outside in neighborhoods of odd characters, patchy grass, abandoned lots and forgotten alleyways. I played inside with American and Japanese cartoon shows, comic books and video games. As I document both life and imagination in my sketchbook, my work intertwines the world around me with the world inside my head.

Bartkira, vol. 5, pages 56-60
Last process post for Bartkira until the final tomorrow.
Process work for my contribution to Bartkira, the Akira/Simpsons mashup. After I finish this up, and my final portfolio/website, maybe I’ll jump back in to comics a bit. It’s hard work, but I forgot how fun it is.
I’m so excited about this project that I can’t show, so I’ll leave you with this for now.
"Shake off your doubt. Set a deadline to your work and stick to it. Believe in yourself. Life will make you doubt yourself, but keep your dreams and hopes alive. Don’t give up because I believe in you. It’s okay to get discouraged. Just don’t give up."
What’s on the drawing table tonight.
Bodies. A sketchbook study for a final image.
Process for a sequential/animation/video game-inspired piece for Light Grey Art Lab.
Beagles.
