Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying the Holiday Season! As we are approaching the new year, I can't help but be excited about all the change that has occurred and what is to come! This year has been one of the most challenging ones for me ever, and yet, it has been one of the best! Traveling to Japan was one of the highlights for me this year...an experience I will always carry with me & grow from, and it's someplace I want to go back and explore a little more! BIG NEWS!!! I Have two BIG announcements to make: 1-I am a official Lucas Film Licensed Artist 2-I've been NOMINATED for 5 Mavric Music Awards Having a career in both music & art is a dream come true for me! Just goes to show me, that the saying is true: if you believe, work hard, focus...anything is achievable! So lets go back to #1... I'm an Official Lucas Film Licensed artist... -The first job I worked on was the Topps "Indiana Jones Masterpieces" set. I illustrated a total of 116 sketch cards that have been inserted at random in the trading cards.
