Growing up like most kids with cartoons like "Hey Arnold!" and "Ren & Stimpy" I fell in love with the silly characters, and the interesting intricate worlds they inhabited. Later shows like these and artwork of John Dilworth, Bill Sienkiewicz,Sergio Toppi, Gustav Klimt and Mucha; became strong influences as I developed my illustrations. Experimenting with various mediums, concepts and commercialism. From mere doodles on the side of my paper to Pratt Institute. Gaining honors and awards in art, and showing in various exhibitions.
