I am an illustrator based in Atlanta, Georgia. There are layers as to why I illustrate. The first is rooted in music. I’ll often listen to one song on repeat if it fits the illustration or concept I am working on. This process tends to make the song and the illustration all the more special to me. As a result, most of my works are created with a lot of emotion behind them and are very personal. Storytelling is another key factor in my work. A story can elevate an illustration and I love to tell a good story. If I am trying to tell a story; it will be with darker, more psychological themes with nuisance elements stemming from real life because I can relate to them more. In a way, all of my story-driven works have pieces of myself woven in.
Anime and cartoons have helped mold my art style throughout the years and have motivated me to learn animation and sequential arts. This motivation bleeds into my illustration-making as I will always try to push the perspective or storytelling elements in my works. However, another side of me just likes making pretty things!
