am a 1988 graduate of Pratt Institute. Despite the protestations of teachers and classmates,

I returned to my hometown, Baltimore, Md., where I work as an Illustrator and live in squalor with my dog, Sue, and a hitch-hiker I picked up who hears voices and has a lazy eye.

the pieces on this site should, hopefully, make evident, my style is multifaceted and allows me to handle a wide variety of subjects and clients. I've been told that offering more than one look or style can detract from an Illustrator's appeal. I think that's a load of crap. I never work in a style that is inappropriate for the subject or the client. However, I will not accept a job that requires me to copy or imitate another artist. I'm fast, I'm professional and, as I write this, I've never missed a deadline and have no designs on doing so.

the years my clients have included various newspapers (daily and alternative), ad agencies (I won the 1998 local and regional ADDIEs for illustration), magazines, comicbook companies, publishing companies, political organizations, film companies, theater companies, animation companies, bands, game companies and some businesses that defy easy categorization. I've also exhibited work in a variety of solo and group shows and accept commissions. In spite of all this, great wealth has continued to elude me. I hope that the Art Directors who see this site will hire me , if for no other reason than to help me reach my goal of obtaining near pornographic riches.
