Summary
I am a versatile 2D artist with background in both the digital and traditional mediums. I pride myself in artistic exploration of materials, concepts, and dimensions, and love to tailor each project to what I believe its artistic vision needs. I find a lot of my inspiration in manga, comics, animation, and collectible figures!
