I am an observational artist. I am a plotter, schemer, thinker, and dreamer. I am always watching and internalizing, taking it all in. When it comes down to executing my illustrations, they begin with paper and pencil every time. I think dimensionally, in the 3D sense, considering how the composition will fill up space. The thing is, it’s not only about filling the space. The atmosphere itself within an illustration should have depth, go backwards and forwards in time. I want my illustrations to have motion. The drawings themselves should feel as if it is another world you could step into or one that could leap out at you.
