The course is fantastic! I'm working on a few writing projects at the moment whilst still learning to draw. I started in 2019 so I'm trying to get the basics down and keep practising! At some point I'd like to work on a comic. The session on storyboarding thumbs was really helpful. Thanks Ed and Jean-Claude :-)

Often I’m asked how long I’ve been drawing. The truth is I don’t remember a time when I wasn’t. I was like any other crayon wielding kid, the only difference being that I never let go of that yearning for artistic venture.

I still remember the walls being filling top to bottom with the felt tip scrawling’s of an artistically fiery five year old. Maths books filled with cartoons instead of numeracy, English books littered with more pictures then poetry. It went on and on and it never stopped.

 My first love was Comic Books, my second was Video Games. Realizing that I wanted to build a career in both I spent most of my late teens immersing myself in constant study, practice and improvement to harness my skills in multiple fields. It was a long, intense journey, with many trials and tribulations along the way, all of which helped me to get my broad skillset to the level it’s at today. There on after I dedicated myself to bringing the characters, worlds and stories within Video Games and Comic Books to life!

Realizing the rewarding feeling of giving back, I’ve devoted several years of my life to create training that teach aspiring artists all my best strategies and techniques for Digital Illustration and Sculpting, Visual Design, and 3D Modelling. On a daily basis I am able to share my methods, techniques and philosophies with my students, so that they too might develop their own artistic flair and begin building themselves a legacy that they’re truly passionate about.

Creativity is my life. For over 25 years I've created award winning advertising campaigns, logos, websites, games, and mobile apps for Fortune 500 companies. I've helped produce projects for companies such as Microsoft, Universal Pictures, Lucasfilm, LEGO, National Geographic, and many others.

These days I teach creativity to a slightly younger audience, as a high school teacher at Village Tech Schools.

My focus is to open the minds of students (of all ages) to see things in new ways. To push past various barriers and limitations and make the impossible -- possible.
