Hi! I'm a writer and illustrator, with over a decade of experience crafting comics and graphic novels in a variety of styles for publishers like Simon and Schuster, Monkeybrain, IDW, and Archie. In that time I've worked in a variety of styles and genres, from realistically-rendered non-fiction and memoir to highly stylized action and adventure stories, with publishers in both the comics' direct market and traditional trade publishing spaces. I'd love to help bring your story to life, whether that means providing cover art, illustrating your written script or fleshing out your kernel of an idea into a fully realized comic. And since I've experienced comics and publishing from so many vantage points, I'm also capable of helping you understand pitching, querying, and any other difficulties you might find yourself navigating. Whether your project is big or small, I hope you'll get in touch!
