About:
I've always drawn and painted. Since discovering it, I've been really drawn to conceptual art, as it's all about communicating ideas narratively with imagery. While creatively demanding it works well with my constant drive to create new things in new ways. I don't worry about style unless asked to. I just try to focus on bringing the ideas to life efficiently, effectively, in interesting ways while trying to tell the story I need to with the imagery, to get the design or idea across.
