BIO: I was raised on the Eastside of Detroit, Michigan - a peculiar but influential city in my development. I moved to Sarasota, Florida to study at the Ringling College of Art + Design. I began studying computer animation, but found myself in illustration. Additional instruction was had while attending two sessions of the exceptional Illustration Academy.

I am currently based in Austin, TX. My studio is also home to one of The Art Department's physical locations. Along with my own projects, I assist in the operation of this studio/classroom. I listen to a lot of hip-hop and wear my hat at a slight angle.
