Illustration

I'm a illustrator and designer who just graduated with a BFA in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design.

I take requests, but I don't always do them. If I turn you down, it's nothing personal! There are some things I just won't draw, and other times it's just bad timing. I don't do elaborate pictures unless I get carried away. (You can also always commission me to draw something more elaborate and specific and we can discuss a price.)

I had experience with Paint Shop Pro and Oekaki in high school (I used a mouse though) and I had Photoshop 5 way back when but I don’t remember using it for anything except scanning. I taught myself Photoshop CS3 Freshman year of college but they taught us how to use Photoshop and other computer programs in college. And there were always people there to ask if you had any questions.

Here’s some of my art from high school that’s on my old DeviantART account. Most of these are actually from my Junior year in high school except for the ocean one.
Colored Pencil and Marker
Ebony Pencil and Marker
Pen and Marker
Oekaki
Pen, Marker, and Watercolor.

I wish I had some examples of my better stuff like my AP Art portfolio but I don’t have them readily online. I did get a 5 on my portfolio though, so I was pretty proud of myself!
