About
After being introduced to the world of printmaking while in college, I fell in love with the medium. Etchings, drypoints, aquatints and monotypes became the primary focus of my work, alongside drawing and painting. Since then, as a full-time illustrator/designer at Portland Studios, my visual work has broadened into the realms of illustration, design, branding, and animation, using digital media alongside traditional--charcoal, ink, pencils and paper littering a desk armed with a Mac, Photoshop, and Wacom tablet. Still, a deep appreciation of the objet d'art has continued to dominate and infuse my work.
My love for all things art and design continue to inform both my personal and client work, whether it be the fine art of printmaking, illustration, branding, zines, music, or whatever outlets the future may bring.
I live in Greenville, SC with my amazing wife Annie, son Marshall, and kitty Billy. Annie's artwork can be seen at her site, KoelleArt, and Royal Buffet.

Thank you so much to all of you who supported my efforts and helped spread the word by emailing, posting, blogging, and flat-out spamming your friends and family. Thank you …
