Art is something I've always enjoyed doing. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. Most of my skills are self-taught.

My earliest inspirations were the beautiful animated Disney films and the superhero comic books from Marvel and DC. Those were my sources of study. I practiced my drawing skills from watching Disney films and reading comic books, so my style began as a hybrid of those.

Then I was introduced to anime. At first, anime art was so different to what I was used to. Yet, it was so wonderful to look at. The first anime that truly caught my attention and sparked my interest in trying a hand at anime was "Sailor Moon." After years of practice and enjoying other anime, I finally learned how to draw anime style.

For a while, I drew only in anime style. Then I started to play video games, and the art of the Final Fantasy video game series really attracted me. This got me back to my more realistic style. Video game art, especially with the characters, is so detailed, creative and unique, and I loved that.

In college, I drew a daily comic strip for the school newspaper for two years. It wasn't a daily funny strip though. Instead, it was a serial comic that revolved around the theme of love.

So in all, my style has evolved throughout the years, and it has a little touch of each inspiration I had. However, if someone would like something strictly anime style, I can do that too.

I can color artwork digitally in Adobe Photoshop or traditionally in colored pencils. I also can do strictly pencil and monochromatic work, if desired.

My dream is that one day, art will be my full-time job.
