Artist Statement

A self-taught artist, with an aficionado in storytelling, I decided to mix my hobby with my passion to become an independent comic writer and illustrator.

My first run was with my community college’s newspaper, ‘The Wright Times’, where I wrote and illustrated “Probable Enemies”. A monthly gag comic about a boy genius who spends his free time pestering the city’s local superhero.
