I HAVE A PASSION TO CREATE AND SOLVE VISUAL COMMUNICATION PUZZLES. CREATING CLEAR IDEAS BY SKETCHING OUT A CONCEPT IN PENCIL OR MOCKING UP THE APPROACH TO A PHOTOREALISTIC LEVEL. IT’S ALSO NOT ALL TECHNIQUE WHEN IT COMES TO DESIGN. I FIND IT EXTRAORDINARILY IMPORTANT TO CONNECT POPULAR CULTURE WITH THE PROJECT I HAVE BEFORE ME WHETHER A PROMOTION FOR FILM OR A VISUAL BIBLE FOR A LINE OF PRODUCTS. SICKSHEEP.COM
02 ILLUSTRATION DRAWING AND PAINTING IS THE MOST ENJOYABLE WORK FOR ME AND IT SHOWS IN THE END PRODUCT. EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION OR CONCEPT ART, I LOVE IT ALL.

03 MOVIES THERE’S NOTHING LIKE TRYING TO EXPRESS THE TONE OF AN ENTIRE FILM IN ONE IMAGE , BLOCKBUSTER OR SHORT - THE FILM’S SIGNATURE ICON IS KEY.

04 APPAREL T-SHIRT BRANDS COME AND GO SO MAKING A MARK IS IMPORTANT. MIXED MEDIA AND A HAND TOUCH MAKE FOR PATTERNS AND GRAPHICS THAT SELL.

05 MUSIC PROMOTION WITHOUT MUSIC LIFE WOULD BE A MISTAKE. MUSIC HAS ALWAYS FUELED ME AND WORKING WITH MY FAVORITE ARTISTS IS THE BEST TIME I HAVE CREATING.

06 BRANDING STARTING FROM A SERIES OF ROUGH SKETCHES AN IDEA IS ROUNDED OUT UNTIL IT IS REFINED DIGITALLY. EVERY SKETCH GETS ME CLOSER TO A BETTER FINISH,
