Objective |
|
|
I'm a passionate person when it comes to doing what I love. I work well with others on a team, though I also have the self discipline to work alone.
I have professionally worked in comics for the last 3 years. I started out at Dark Brain comics lettering their flash based web comics. I have since moved on to freelance flatting, coloring and even writing work. I'm the writer and creator of my own comic Android Panda, as well as many other concepts I'm currently developing. I have worked on projects from Image, DC, Marvel, Darkhorse, IDW and more. Also with creators such as Hi-Fi, Jay Fotos, Art Lyon, Brian Reber and John Rauch. |

Skills |
|
|
My skills vary, but all have one common thread.
I tell stories. I started out lettering comics and moved into doing the flatting pretty quickly. My first flatting gig was for Hi-Fi on a DC book. I have remained a flatter and since have honed my coloring skills. I have done a few published covers and I'm currently working on coloring some projects for friends and my self. In 2010 I conceptualized my first comic, Android Panda. Since I have really been exercising my true passion, to create. I have worked on my writing skills since then, on 3 of my other concepts that I'm currently developing and searching for artists on and even writing my own short stories with existing IPs for practice. |
