Process

I draw the characters first. Then I paint the colors, sometimes working on multiple paintings. Red for all of these guys, then blue or green for whichever one needs. Black outline is next. Then I cut them out and paint a character specific background. Final step is to attach to the background.

Inspiration

I feel it is my job to observe. I read comics, watch animated, non-animated movies, read art books, kids books, graphic design, vintage poster books. The cereal isle at the grocery store is very colorful. The masters and pop artists at a museum, my friend Robbie all add to the blender in my head.

Fun Facts

Not ALL the characters talk to me.
