Being essentially a self-taught illustrator, since a very young age, illustration is how I’m most comfortable sharing my perspectives on understood- and peripheral-experiences. I’ve gained a lot of inspiration from opposing forces – contemporary ceramics as early reference for how to conceptualize mass and texture in illustration, spending a lifetime outdoors influencing many fundamental sensibilities, and a lot of creative tenacity feeding off of multi-disciplined competitive bicycling, for example. My intuitive abstractions often rely on structural reasoning, and I often experiment with ways to digitally express tactile qualities.

The first half of my life was spent creating only with analog tools which influence every step of my current digital methods. Working digitally can sometimes feel like I’m chasing my own tail, driven more by consumptive opportunity than necessity, so, applying any media to paper continues to be foundational and grounding by its assumed simplicity and limitations. 

2025 involved an illustration agency mentorship (ItsMe.biz), microenterprise business training (EnterpriseForEquity.org), and non-stop creative evaluation. 

This collection includes work with some newer techniques and ways of conceptualizing, as well as some tenured throwback styles that I’m not quite done with. For now, I’ve loosely categorized these images as “formatted and structured”, “abstractions, metaphors, analogies”, and “actions, forms”. Sometimes you have to launch the ship without a full crew; I’ll post updates when possible. Here’s to 2026 being both a manifestation and a reignition. 

I’m most interested in creating illustrations that enhance your editorial, publishing and advertising projects by drawing on my enthusiasm for travel, sports, and outdoor adventures.
