I don’t really remember when I started to draw. I think when I was 10 or so. My earliest artwork was pretty much me copying Jim Davis’ Garfield characters over and over again. After my obsession with the lasagna loving cat wore off I started drawing my favorite super-heroes. In high school ( Grades 7-11) I started to design my own characters and put them into my own comic books. My art style drastically changed during this time. I wanted my art to look like comic book art so I began to heavily mimic my all-time favorite comic book artist John Byrne. Later on, other artists would influence my style; Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, Marc Sylvestri, Arthur Adams, Mike Zeck, Ron Frenz, and Mark Bagley. I remember drawing constantly during those days, every class was an art class to me. My school work suffered from this of course and I had to do a couple of years in Adult Education to get my diploma. After all that, off to college I went and into the Illustration and Design program. Now I was able to draw in most of my classes and not worry about the teacher confiscating anything.
