Research & Brainstorming
Word association is the best way to begin solving a visual problem for my illustration projects. I experiment with all different types of media: graphite, paper collage, color pencils, acrylics, oils, pen and ink, crayons, Copic markers, pastels, Illustrator, and Photoshop... just to name a few.
Moleskine Sketchbooks
A few years ago, I started using the Moleskine books as a way to organize my graphic design concepts and thumbnails. I use the Moleskine daily planner for my brainstorming ideas. I use the ruled notebook for thumbnail images and notes. I use the sketchbook when my ideas are in the final stages.

Traditional & Digital Illustrations
I attended the Savannah College of Art & Design in Georgia on a full fine arts scholarship with a major in illustration and design. My artwork has been infused in almost every advertising and interactive project I've been involved with over the last 20 years of my career in one way or another. I create artworks in a wide variety of styles and media; pencil, oil, acrylic, assemblage, and digital collage. See my illustration blog for updates.
