...I guess it all started with the dinosaurs.

I mean the ones I began drawing in the margins of my school books as a kid. Later on, I found more legitimate (or at least structured) expression in art classes, and the influence of friends and instructors led to further interests in sketching and painting, and years later to the possibilities of digital rendering programs which allowed me to create three dimensional models and environments. My graphite renderings usually depict historical, mythological or fantasy themes, while my colour work (CGI and otherwise) tends toward science fiction and space images.  

My work has been well received at art shows, and have won distinctions for my graphite and digital renderings. My drawing style has its roots in architectural rendering, and has further evolved through the application of sharp focus drawing techniques. Visual (and literary) influences and sources of inspiration are many and varied, and include Michael Whelan, James Gurney, Arthur C. Clarke, and Frank Herbert, among others.
