Art is my obsession. I really don't know what I'd do, or where I'd be without my talents. I've always had such an imagination, and urge to create, and art really is the most ideal way for me to get my ideas out there into the world. If I dream, I want to draw it. If I have a brilliant idea, I want to draw it. If I have an image caught in my mind, I want to draw it. Since I can remember, back when I was a youngster, I've been penciling away everyday of every year, piece of paper by piece of paper; doodling away in maths pads and English pads at school when I should have been paying attention in class. And throughout these years I have been complimented and encouraged for my art work by the people around me, friends, family, and teachers - which I ultimately believe has made me the artist I am today. Were it not for their encouragement that pushed me far and beyond my own limits, I might have given up on my passion there and then. So I want to say a big thank you to all of you out there, that pushed me forward to draw another day.

I enjoy doing comic art the most, and aspire to someday, eventually be half as good as my artistic idols, Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo. Although I like my comic styled art, I do many other forms and styles which include Cartooning, Illustrations, Photo-Manipulation, 3D Graphics Design, Vector Art, and more – All of which can be used as designs for anything really.

Most of my Art is done digitally with the aid of computer programs such as Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Illustrator CS3, Corel Painter X, CorelDRAW 3, 3DSMAX and ZBrush. It's thanks to the Authors of these amazing applications that my art work is what is it is today. Although most of my work is done digitally on computer, I have been looking into more traditional styles of working, such as charcoal, water colours, oils, pastel, and clay sculpting.
