“My work combines natural science illustration with cartooning.”

I am a cartoonist and illustrator specializing in pen and ink drawings.

My work combines natural science illustration with cartooning. Favorite subjects include animals, mascots and characters.

While I have been drawing my entire life, I was an internet marketing and web development pioneer, helping to establish a couple of agencies the past 30 years. Recently, I have been working as an illustrator full time. My wife is an art historian and illustration is something I’m incredibly passionate about.

I’m seeking work for the following:

* Animal Scenes
* Poster Art
* Mascots & Characters
* Children’s book illustrations
* Editorial illustrations
* Natural science illustrations
* Commercial pen and ink work

My process starts on paper or iPad. My medium is typically pen and ink or Procreate ink, done by hand. Once I have the sketch complete, I use Photoshop to color it.

My technical proficiency includes:

* Pen and Ink
* Pencil
* Procreate
* Adobe Photoshop

* Adobe Illustrator

Internet Marketing (especially landing page CRO)

I have a BBA in marketing with a concentration in art and design from the University of Wisconsin Madison. I’m also currently completing my Natural Science Illustration certificate at (RISD). I reside in Rochester, NY, with my family and pets.
