Here is some work I've done by hand. All that practice drawing pot leaves and low riders in middle school is really starting to pay off. Some of my professional illustration work includes stuff for brands like HP, Microsoft, Tom's Shoes, Modern Amusement, Xbox, Halo 3: ODST, and more. I show
my art work whenever I have the chance, and also sell original pieces and other fun stuff on etsy.
And now, some work I've done with computers. I've designed web sites, print ads, banner ads, worked on globally recognized brands, ads that have dramatically increased sales of products, and presentations that have won tens of millions of dollars of business for global agencies and clients alike.
