I DRAW STUFF
I'm a Boston-based illustrator, writer, educator, and giant vector geek. I specialize in vivid, colorful portraits, (often of people yelling, but not always). My vector work starts off as a loose black and white drawing in Adobe Fresco on my Apple iPad, and then I move to Adobe Illustrator on my Wacom Cintiq to add pops of color, gradients and other finishing touches. I use no filters, no live-tracing, and no live-painting. Everything you see is the product of my hand and my stylus making marks on a surface.
I'm open for commercial inquiries and commission work. Past clients include Adobe, Applause Inc., and Chicago Fire Football Club. Drop me a line via email or any of my social media links to the left if you'd like to hire me to draw you a thing.
