Statement
All my life, I’ve been subject to what one might call a spontaneous sense of wonder. The feeling comes and goes at random, but I have found that it often carries with it many thrilling stories just begging to be told. I became an artist because I wanted a better method to communicate these flickers of imagination, and I haven’t looked back since. My work most often focuses on the myriad of narratives to be woven from the many curiosities of the natural world. I also frequently use bright and unnatural colors to stress the wonderful strangeness of my work and pull the viewer into a universe stuck somewhere between familiarity and the alien. I most frequently use comics to convey stories, though I also enjoy the challenge of conveying an unfamiliar world within a single illustration.
