Biography

United States

I was born in suburban Ohio in 1979- it was a great place to grow up. I played outside, watched a lot of t.v. and played a lot of video games. I also drew pictures all the time. I liked making up creatures and drawing animals out of the encyclopedia. My drawings these days come from a mix of child-like enchantment and momentary adult situations. A lot of it ends up looking like children's book illustrations for adults.
