About the Author

I’m an illustrator at heart, and a designer by trade. Over the last 18+ years, I have worked with major licensed properties, from the NFL, NBA, and MLB, to Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Marvel Comics, and South Park. Right out of high school, I was recruited by the creative director for Fruit of the Loom’s Sports and Licensing division. While I didn’t go to college, I did have a amazing education in both traditional and digital illustration and design at the hands of the 20 plus talented illustrators / designers in the Fruit of the Loom creative department. To say I’m a Jack of all trades is an understatement. The diversity of my skills allows me to adapt to whatever job is presented to me—T-Shirts, video games, trading cards, comic books, web design, application design, video effects—I can and will do it all.
