I was born in San Francisco a few weeks before the Cuban Missile Crisis. (I wasn't yet a month old and already in a world of trouble!) I was the second child of four kids and thought of by most of my family as the strange but quiet one. After a lackluster career in High School, I went off to Junior College and later enrolled in the Academy of Art College. There at the Academy, I earned a BFA degree in Illustration.
I'm currently an Adobe Certified Expert in Adobe Illustrator 10. Though since leaving school I've used many different graphic programs for the computer;. I've recently decided to focus on creating artwork in Illustrator. Vector based art allows for the widest range of final options and usage for my work. I can create artwork without worrying that it may be too big or too small for whatever print usage I may want to do with it later. Also the smaller file sizes vector art allows for easier transfer of my work over the Internet to vendors and clients.

Description In this illustration I did something I rarely do. I reworked it over again after I had finished it Thursday night.
This is an illustration I did from the shoot with Rae last September. I wanted to get it done before this weekend because I'm doing another shoot Sunday for my Xmas card. So if I didn't finish it soon, I wouldn't have a chance to work on it for a long while. Still the background bothered me and some friends at work had some good suggestions for improvement. So I went back to the original file and reworked the background. This version I'm more happy with.
I definitely have been doing a lot of women with swords this year though.
