I’ve been drawing dinosaurs since three; the canvas to one of my first masterpieces (a green tyrannosaur) was my grandparents’ living room wall. I’ve had the pleasure to clean and assemble dinosaur bones and fossils at the Denver museum, and have talked with a few famous dino-diggers. I’m taking my love for all that is paleo into a new level in my art as of recent years. I’ve become more than a fine artist, I’ve become a digital illustrator.
I work from innumerable sources of information and with an array of methods; including fine art media such as acrylics, graphite, inks, tempera, marker, watercolor, colored pencil and charcoal, and most other wet and dry media known to mankind. I also work with design programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, KPT Bryce and Painter for my digital illustration work. My strongest interests lie in conceptual art and design and photo-realism. I have accomplished many types of work including murals, 3-D sculpting and animation, bronze casting, wildlife and prehistory art, posters, book covers, magazine and CD covers, children’s book art, technical illustration, and lots and lots of life drawing.
