"Concentrate on your phonics instead of your artwork," my first-grade teacher Miss Kunk wrote on one of my homework assignments. Seems I'd forgotten to write in the missing vowels in my haste to color all the pictures. Years later, I'm still coloring - and I still don't know phonics.

Since graduating first grade I've worked for many top-notch companies, including Forbes, Hasbro, Pentagram, Reader's Digest, U.S. News & World Report and The Wall Street Journal. I've also been recognized by the Society of Illustrators and the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. (I guess I'm a decent illustrator despite Miss Kunk.)

If you would like to discuss an assignment, please call or email, my contact information is to the right. Thanks for visiting my site.
