I excel in visual communication by applying my artistic style to both traditional and modern methods. The strength in my abilities comes from utilizing line, value, and composition. My love for illustration stems from my childhood and an obsession with storytelling. The best part of the storytelling process was, and will always be, populating those tales with unique characters.
Embracing the challenges of a new task from beginning to end has always been central to my performance throughout school and work. This trait, accompanied by my passion for art, continues to make me a better artist and illustrator.

What’s up Tim! I just copped your book LUNCH at Legends today..Very weird and funny..you’ve got a very cool and unique style. Great stuff. I was also impressed with the format of your book. I like the size and paper quality..looks very professional and clean.. I’m trying to self publish a comic of my own by May of this year. I was wondering if you can suggest a good printer..I’ve narrowed it down to Comixpress online..but I’d really like to get this done locally..any suggestions? Holla.
Thanks Sean! You’re too kind! If you go with an online printer like Comixpress it’s usually cheaper. However, local printing has its advantages like choosing a size and paper quality. Also, you don’t have to worry about shipping hassles. I have had a couple of books printed at Publication Printing, which is in Waterloo, NE. You could also try Copy Cat too. Good luck!
Thanks for the quick response..You’ve been very helpful! You ever go to the Artist Jam’s over at Krypton Comics?
I have gone to that a couple of times. It’s fun, but I don’t usually have a free saturday to attend. Hopefully I can go sometime soon!
