I think of myself as a perpetual student, as I always enjoy learning more about art, storytelling, and the world. I find that, the more I learn and the more skills I master, the more I learn about myself. My style began as mostly traditional. Now, I have expanded my skills to realistic fantasy art, as well as some design and cartoon work. I received a bachelors in Creative Writing with a minor in the fine arts and I have had some classes in animation, typography, and character design. I am also a good writer and storyteller.
Book Sales
My website finally got put up, and I actually do have some books for sale in my two main series: North Country (an action/fantasy dragon adventure) and A Song Sung Once (adventures with a society of meerkats with human traits). Artwork will be for sale soon, and of course I do commissions. For now, the books we are selling are paper back, though I'm hoping to get kindle up soon. The blog is not up yet, but the links on the top bar of the main page should all be working.
