TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOURSELF
I'm a professional Illustrator currently residing in Jacksonville, FL where I was born and raised. I am currently working on comics and freelancing.

WHAT INSPIRES YOUR ART
There are alot of things and people who inspire my art. I try and mix it up with my work, so I am always looking for new inspiration and things Ive never done to take from. I think thats what gives me a wide range of ability in style.

WHAT DO YOU DO OUTSIDE OF THE ART WORLD
I love to surf, its my second passion. I grew up in a family who surfed, so its just a part of me. I also enjoy camping and I love to travel.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE
I would have to say unpredictable and whimsical

WHAT IS THE MOST ANNOYING/INSPIRING THING ABOUT ONLINE ART COMMUNITIES
I've only been into it for about a year now. I've had great response and interaction with people via blogs and such. It's a great way to share your art and keep in touch.
