From the artist:
After graduating Pratt Institute in 1994, I started illustrating for role-playing games like Mage: The Ascension and Wraith: The Oblivion until my first major advertising client: Trek Bikes, in 1999. My natural tendencies towards portraits, decorative elements, and art nouveau, carved a niche for myself. Over the years, my work has appeared on advertising and packaging for virtually every kind of product, from food and beverages to posters and books covers (The Celestial Seasonings green teas with the Dragon, that's me!).
