I've been working as a freelance and contract artist throughout the entertainment industry for over 25 years. In that time I have created artwork for nearly all forms of media, merchandise, film, television, storyboards, Key Art, Blu Ray packaging, Feature film posters and the collectible fine art markets. The Last 15 years has been heavily focused on creating high profile marketing campaigns, Styleguide artwork, packaging headers, IP branding and Key Art for feature film and television/streaming content. The extensive amount of work I have created for dozens of style guides can be seen globally on merchandise by hundreds of licensors for the Star Wars franchise. In the fine art market I have contributed to the development of some of the best selling artlines from franchised properties such as, Star Wars, The Walking Dead Universe, Creepshow, Umbrella Academy, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, various properties from both the Marvel and DC Universe for both comic book and feature film inspired artwork. In collaboration with ABC televisions creative team I have created the Key Art for all three of Norman Lear's Emmy Award-Winning ABC specials: "Live In Front Of A Studio Audience" a prime-time tribute to classic sitcoms from the extensive catalog of Norman Lear's television legacy. My career began in the mid 90s as a traditional painter but as the industry changed and new technology was quickly replacing the acrylics and oils of yesteryear I adapted and created a unique style of digital art that was in demand for new forms of publishing and marketing. Clients requested the look of my traditional artwork with the practicality of deliverables in the digital format. As programs like Adobe Photoshop, Corel Painter became increasingly capable of creating beautiful artwork, I studied and mastered digital techniques that rival the traditional work I became known for. I now offer multiple styles in both traditional, digital and a hybrid to bring my clients projects to life....
