Illustration

I use a variety of traditional and digital techniques and software to produce various illustration visuals.

My drawing and painting hand is quick and true with 3 decades of continual practice on paper and

in the digital environment. I use programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, SketchbookPro, PaintToolSAI.
