Here you can find old projects, sketchbook pages, and just about anything I feel gives futher insight into how my brain works and my approach to art. This is were you can see how far I've come from my early work to now. A sketchbook is very much an extention of an artist, mine has been a constant companion as I have learned and grown. Plus everyone starts somewhere, and looking back at where you've been can help encourage you to keep improving.

Digital 3D Work
Learning anything takes time and picking up modeling has been a ride to say the very least! When I started at SCAD back in 2010 I knew absolutely nothing about the workflow and techniques behind 3D models. It's a process that can be both very simple or very frustrating. Here are some of the things I've accomplished along the way.

Digital 2D Work
In my opinion, one of the most challenging and engaging skills to develop in the digital field is digital painting. Many people start off expecting it to be a cakewalk, I did, but after a few lessons in humility (thanks Photoshop) you begin to understand that the programs don't really hate you, you've just been looking at it wrong. These are some works that taught me a lot!

While I work primarily in digital media, I very much enjoy trying things in the physical world. Sometimes getting your hands on something can help you come up with new ways to look at your every day work. These projects are more for fun than anything but have taught me new ways to look at creating.
