Hi ICON! Excited to be back amongst my fellow image makers this year. I’m an illustrator/designer/educator working out of Oklahoma City. I like comic books, horror movies, and German Expressionism. Also nostalgia. I’ve been working professionally for the past decade and change, and have been teaching illustration and design since 2015 at the University of Central Oklahoma. Work has been recognized by AI-AP, SoI, SoILA, CommArts and 3x3. Clients have included: Reader’s Digest, Harlequin Books, the Riverfront Times, Curbside Chronicle and Fleishman Hillard.
