About me:

.. .. ..

I am a fantasy and pin up artist living in Ohio. Working mostly with airbrush and colored pencils, I create images that lean toward a darker nature, usually featuring a strong female figure. I do freelance illustration work for various companies and work on my own personal artwork and commissions.

My work has been featured in many publications, including International Illustrator, Airbrush Art and Action, Wildlife Art News, and Heavy Metal Magazine. I had a featured gallery in Heavy Metal Magazine in January 2007, and was the cover artist in September 2007 and May 2009. I was profiled in a featured article and cover of Art Scene International in January 2008 as well as a tutorial on the creation of "Rhiannon" in Spring 2009 issue. I have a weekly featured artist on the Heavy Metal Magazine website at www.metaltv.com! My work has also appeared in Veronika Kotlajic's "The Perfect Muse", Bianca Beauchamp's "Fetish Sex Symbol", and Drakaina's "Fantasy of Desires". Look for me in the 2009 and 2011 Heavy Metal Calendar! I illustrated a children's book, "Stronghead Sam - the Cowgirl Hero" due in Summer of 2009 and available through Amazon.com

I enjoy working with a group of great models. I have had the pleasure of creating images with Veronika Kotlajic, Bianca Beauchamp, Seffana, Drakaina, Natasha Yi, Julie Kim, Nicole Damon, Debra Valentine, Debra Shaw, Kelly Kole, Khwan, Anastasia Dorohova, Sister Sinister, Angie Savage, and Jennifer Delora. Many of whom can be found in my top friends, so go pay them a visit!

I have worked with the creators and cast members of the 1968 version of Night of the Living Dead to produce official art based on that film.
