Pensive Young Wizard Gyrien
These illustrations bring me back to my fine-art roots. After my years of photo editing and design work impacting the real world, fantasy has been a major form of escapism for me. I am able to utilize my eyes and hand skills from my day job to create visions out of this world.

Gjim, The Mousefolk Barbarian Process
Evaluating my process is at the core of creation for me. I have been animating works in progress for years; and, every time I study the GIFs I make these paintings, I find new things to improve upon.

Randy's Guardian Angel
Character design has become a passion that unites many of my skills into one final product. I have found so much joy in this work; I began to take commissions on various social media outlets. I believe there is a certain magic that only occurs during the collaboration between people with common passions. The connections I’ve made and the stories my collaborators and I have told through these characters feels more real than any fantasy I was able to think up on my own.
