Before becoming a freelance illustrator/graphic artist, I worked for newspapers creating graphics and illustrations for 14 years. I did work for every section of the paper from Life and Entertainment to Sports. Now, I try to come up with new and interesting ideas for illustrations. My love for vintage poster, propaganda and product art from the early 20th century and an interest in retro-futuristic art from the mid-20th has led me to create some cool poster art. I mean, who doesn't want to travel the solar system or join the fight against the villains of 1980s arcade games? I also have experience creating marketing and advertising art for various companies. From label expo organizers to architecture firms. And I've had the opportunity to create artwork under such licenses as Star Wars, Disney, Fox, Star Trek, The Muppets and Marvel.
