I am a Chicago based freelance illustrator.  After two years at the American Academy of Art, I left with an Associates Degree in illustration.  From there, I produced fantasy art for such book publishers as White Wolf Games, TSR, FASA and many others.  Additionally, as a storyboard artist, I have worked in the Chicago advertising industry for clients like BBDO Chicago and FCB Chicago on numerous advertising assignments.  I provide storyboard and print comp renderings in  B&W or color, along with computer artwork generated in Adobe Photoshop and Corel Painter.  As a conceptual artist and designer, I guess i would describe myself as an "outside the box thinker with a healthy analytical and fact-based conscience".  Originality and compelling designs are key, but not at the cost of alienating the viewer or taking logic for granted.
