INTRODUCTION / OBJECTIVES
With over twelve years of experience under my belt, I understand the market's need for the differences in familiarity and I also have the confidence and the capacity to bring projects to bear on-time and on-target. It is with this interest and curiousity in the arts and different medias that ties all people together visually and therefore, the images in their minds, or the "imagination". In studying and practical application of different medias and techniques, I've been fortunate to meet and work with some of the best in the animation, tattoo, graphic design and web design and development fields understanding the real concept of "imagination". I hope to be able to apply creativity, technical skills and knowledge to projects that might someday be universally known, respected and appreciated.
