Drawing since the age of 2 (I remember), I found an affinity for telling stories on paper long before I made it to a computer screen. Video games, cinema, books and comics all contribute to my desire to tell old stories in new and exciting ways. I like to think of myself as a musician of sorts; the pencil is my chosen instrument, to the tune of child like wonder and imagination.
