My wife and I found a copy of our book at our local Barnes & Noble!! (Val Vista and Baseline in AZ) My lovely wife wrote it and I illustrated it.
We were able to sign the copy for the store and place it back right next to Hoda Kotb 's lovely books!
✴️Now for the fun part... If you go to this B&N, purchase this copy, and send me a picture of the receipt, we will mail you some FREE stickers as a thank you! 😀

I had the pleasure of designing a brand new character mascot for a manufacturing construction company. They approached me to develop a friendly rhino to represent their business, both for internal documents and external marketing efforts. The goal was to have a fresh new character that could work well for their branding. They also wanted me to provide them with multiple poses of the character and some supporting images to use for various materials and needs. It's always fun to develop characters!

Because of the unauthorized AI use of artwork throughout so many social medias, you'll notice I'm removing all my personal artwork from old posts on here. I will still share about new book/product releases and perhaps some other content, but if you want to actually see my latest artwork, be sure to visit my website regularly and/or sign up for my monthly newsletter on there! Thank you!!! 😊

Stories matter. I love helping a great story come to life. I specialize in imagining characters & illustrations for stories. Whether for an animation, a children’s book, a board game, a comic, or a video game, I love creating artwork for any story genre….
