About

I accidentally became an illustrator as a result of a daily drawing project that spanned 14 years. Throughout my career I’ve worked with clients like Cartoon Network, Microsoft, Facebook, Adidas, Nickelodeon, and countless others. This channel is centered around illustration and my career as an illustrator. I also have ADHD, and I talk about that sometimes too. Typical content includes tutorials, reviews of illustration related things I use (typically revolving around an iPad), Tips + Tricks, Lettering (Oh yeah, I do a lot of that too!).
