"I produce comic book-styled illustration for advertising agencies and their clients, editorially for consumer and trade magazines, and promotionally for any and all usages.

I create custom-designed superheroes for companies and corporations, and custom superhero portraiture, in which I maintain both the photographic likeness and the comic book look to find your inner superhero!

My backgrounds in illustration, graphic design, art direction and copywriting, combined with expertise in and enthusiasm for the comic book medium and its rich history, produce imagery that stands out from the crowd of conventional illustration and photography."
