Born in Maine and later moved to Illinois, I enjoy creating art that represents my sense of humor.I like to use the world around me as a source of inspiration to bring underutilized concepts to life and introduce people to a world/culture that they never knew of, with a hint of sarcasm and playfulness.I'm able to provide new perspectives and showcase a different sense of style that isn't common among various media with strong use of linework and vector-like graphics.I'm also familiar with industry-standard programs, such as Adobe Illustrator!
