Q: What is your creative process?
After I receive and assignment, I
begin researching and sketching for character development. When I feel I
know my character well enough, I move on to working on the book
layout. When all the necessary people involved with the book production
are satisfied with the sketches, I clean them up and scan them. I then
take them into Photoshop where I digitally paint them.
Q: How would you describe your style?
I would describe my style as stylized/painterly with a whimsical approach. I like to infuse a little humor where ever I can
Q: What do you specialize in?
I specialize in painting animals both realistically and stylized, and I also enjoy illustrating subject matter with darker themes, such as monsters and witches, of the fairytale kind.
Q: Are you working on anything at the moment?
I'm working on a wonderful children's book and app with Dawn Publications, about the different kinds of creatures that live in the Florida Everglades, to be published in 2014. I think kids are really going to love it!
Q: What was the last project that you completed?
I just finished a book called The Legend of Ranger, The Reindeer Who Couldn't Fly. This book will be coming out around Christmas of 2013. It's a book about hope and finding the strength within yourself to overcome your fears
