ABOUT ME
A creator with over twenty years experience in the commercial art field, I am an illustrator dedicated to my craft, a creative problem solver serving each project and a visual storyteller driven by the joy in narrative.
COMICS!
I am currently working on two to-be-announced, graphic novel titles, for Middle Grade audience, as artist and co-creator.
I have been published by Lion Forge/Oni Press (Rolled & Told), Scout (By the Horns) and Really Easy Press (Scally-Ho!). I am the creator of my Middle Grade series “HERO BEARDS”.
I also create comic work as brand activation for marketing, advertising and presentation/pitch purposes. Teaming up with my lovely partner Melissa Sue Stanley and our friend Dave Schneider, we helped establish Revolution Brewing’s comic identity in 2016 with their first comic book. Followed by a 6 issue comic series, dozens of beer labels and other marketing material, our contribution to the brand continues to grow.
I have created comics for use as brand activation tools for sale, promotion and B2B presentation for clients like Corelle/Instant Brands.
I am available for interior and cover work. I am always on the hunt for writers to collaborate with on new and exciting projects.

My illustration work is calibrated per project by intention, timing and budget, in a voice that is unique and inimitable.

what else?
I live in my not-so-secret headquarters in Chicago with my wonderful wife Melissa Sue Stanley and our stinky dog Rocko. We love tabletop games with dinner, sketching at breweries and camping. Rocko loves biscuits and couches.
