Biography
I began using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator with version 5 back in the late 1990's. Through experimentation I improved my skills steadily, and eventually took a basic digital design course at my local community college. From this class I gained a better grasp of the tools and techniques needed gain my first job in the design field. After a little training, I was able to steadily improve my skills until I enrolled in Art Institute Online, where I have gained a better understanding of the advanced techniques involved in the Adobe Creative Suite.
In addition to my digital works, I am also a fairly proficient artist in traditional media. I love to draw, and have been doing so for many years. I find inspiration from many sources, often times from mass media such as music, comic books, movies, and television.
