I'm a big fan of pop culture and movies, and I often find my work influenced by the characters and stories I enjoy most. Some of my favorite films are WALL-E, Jurassic Park, Captain America, Tron: Legacy, And Alita: Battle Angel. I work primarily with my iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using Procreate for my digital paintings. I also use Photoshop quite regularly for larger or more precise projects.
The coolest part of my job is when my designs are noticed by the people I depict in them. My artwork has been praised by celebrities such as Nathan Fillion (Firefly, Castle, The Suicide Squad, Destiny 2), Doug Jones (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth, The Shape of Water), James Gunn (Director of The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy), Arnel Pineda (Lead singer of Journey), Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy), Gina Carano (The Mandalorian), and Merle Dandridge (Half-Life game series).
These are some cool websites I visit from time to time!
