I'm a San Francisco-based illustrator and game artist. This is a collection of my artistic work and play. I love comics, dragons, talkative cats, a good cup of joe, and drawing for fun.
Everything you see here was created by yours truly.

Practicing those isometrics! I would happily hang out at this cafe or play a game that involves hanging out at this cafe. I say this as I hang out and get work done…at a cafe.
I came across the band logo I created for Crawler again today. If you haven’t seen the disgusting tshirt I designed for them, check it out here. And if you haven’t heard of Crawler, listen up here.
This little guy was born when I was doodling with my nephew and has grown up to be a fully vectorized dragon. He enjoys cheese balls, go carts, and fart jokes. He’s my new best friend.
My family totally rocked this van (complete with my dad’s initials on the spare tire AND a couch bed in the back) when I was growing up in the 80s! This painting was a gift to my family for Christmas.
This was a fun Christmas commission! I am doing mostly digital work these days, but I jump on any opportunity to work in watercolor.
The art…of Christmas cookies! This is happening.
Happy holidays, tumblr.
Hi followers (and whoever else might be out there)! I haven’t been posting much here as a result of full-time freelance work that I’m not at liberty to share with the world. I hope to be more present here, posting the artwork I do for practice and for fun. Thanks for following along :)
For now, here’s a fun sketch I did for a friend’s 65th birthday. Homemade birthday cards are the best.
More to come. Always.

Thanks to eatsleepdraw for posting this guy! It makes my inner geek extremely happy. ;)
Bear suit! From last night’s Sketch Tuesdays.
A birthday gift.
Working on a watercolor based on “Where The Wild Things Are” for a friend’s birthday.
Flexing my watercolor muscle. A sketch completed in ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and cleaned up in Photoshop. Now, back to work on vectors…
Wednesday night sketching while listening to the game on the radio. Go giants!
Awkward. #sketchtuesdays This one didn’t make it up on the wall, but I had a blast working on it. (at 111 Minna Gallery)
Hi tumblr!
I’ve been MIA the past few weeks because I was working on a mural and therefore disconnected from my computer. There were actually 8 different ceiling murals, 16 gallons of paint, 6 rolls of painter’s tape, 350 ceiling tiles, and 3 pairs of jeans completely covered in paint. Here is a photo collection of what I’ve been up to.
It’s good to be back. xo
