Much like other artists, my desire to create the visions in my head started at an early age.
I've always been drawn (no pun intended) to the fantastical. During my early years I lived in a semi-remote area and there were no neigborhood kids to interact with.
I believe this is where it all began, I read voraciously and while playing with toys I invented stories for them. These events along with the classic science fiction & fantasy tales and movies of the time, propelled me down the path of illlustrating fantasy artwork.
However, my real journey did not start until my mid twenties. I worked at a copy shop for several years and attended college to earn a degree in Visual Comm.'s. I went through several opportunities learning the valuable lesson of compromise and to focus my determination for the client not against them.
Many things go into these illustrations;
And finally bringing it all into a painting program to add painted elements, color correction and clean up artifacts. All of this work is intended to give the final piece a polished and painted look.
Therefore I can tell you that my journey has begun, but far from over.
