Illustration was my first love. I remember my father drawing tanks and airplanes for me at a very young age and then taking those drawing and replicating them. I would sit for hours and draw the characters out of the Sunday Comics or a comic book. I also would draw the athletes out of the sports magazines we received in the mail. I have continued to nurture this interest and develop my skills in illustration. You won’t typically find me far from a pencil and sketch pad.
