Summary
Illustrator and Graphic Designer working with walking as a creative act.
About
Walking and drawing or walking and making, but always walking. I seek out situations that might put myself or a project at risk of total failure and then create work telling you how badly that went. This has mainly been in comic books and illustrations but has expanded over the years to include animation, sculpture and architecture.
