ILLUSTRATION
Illustration has been at the core of much of my work, ranging from watercolor, ink, acrylic, pencil and digital but has ranged as far as pastels and calligraphy. My first taste of illustration was followed by teaching my 4th grade class how to paint a simple beach scene, by the age of 19 I began screen printing, where many of my illustrations were hung in various galleries or bought by local dealers. Following my initial interest in printed illustration I was a tattoo artist for a brief period of time in my early twenties, and currently you can see a heavy influence of my love of illustration in my design work. In addition I still play with various printing techniques from digital to lino prints.

Item description
AWAKE SHORT STORIES
Awake is a collection of short stories, taking the reader through a journey of dream based realities. Weaving in and out of dream like impressions to waking moments the reader is left lost in the fantasy of reality and fiction with this based on true events collection. The illustrations were designed to leave the reader haunted by the visions as many of them took place at night. What initially started as watercolor is now digitally rendered illustrations; I drew each illustration with the harsh contract of light to give the depth needed while still keeping the mood intune with the theme.
