MEDIUMS: Digital Art
SPECIALTY: ✔ Technique
I’ve been working as a professional comic book colorist since 2011 and teaching digital art and coloring online on YouTube and in my courses since 2014.
I started drawing very young – before elementary school – and never stopped.
I love mentoring and demystifying art and color concepts for others.
I live in Long Beach, Mississippi, with my wife of over twenty years, Tina.
