PROFILE:
When I started professionally doing illustrations for Comics years ago I thought things were simple. I saw myself as the king of comics and that it was just a matter of time until I officially would be crowned just that. Well the truth is not always pleasant, to say the least.
I was a pretty good illustrator at the time but very inexperienced in the world of professional illustration. My ego got a couple of punches and my black and white understanding of the world started to fade in to the creative gray fog of compromises it really is. As time rushed by I got more and more interested in 3D animations as a way of expressing myself. The world of computer graphics has been part of my world since the early age of quicksilver checkerboards and marble spheres. The turning point for me was Toy Story. I think it was then I truly decided that I wanted to move my comic characters around. Said and done I choose the animators path, got myself the appropriate education believing that\\\\′s the right choice. After acknowledging this, I came to the realization this is what I want to do for the rest of my career
Yours truly
