Hobbies: Argentina national soccer/fútbol team, reading, movie watching and cleaning up after my 3 daughters.
A graduate of the MFA program at Columbus College of Art and Design, I teach and advise students in the Illustration program at CCAD. Also, I do freelance work, making comics and creating illustrations in the children's market. I received my BFA in Art with an emphasis in Illustration from Brigham Young University - Idaho. In Idaho, I met my amazing wife, Candace. (She's still the best thing I got out of school). We have 3 beautiful daughters.
Before going to college, I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for two years in the north-western part of Argentina. While there I learned Spanish and not to be afraid to ask total strangers to change their lives.

Blog postMy brother-in-law @jamesbestiv posted about being thankful for therapy recently. It reminded me that I have so much gratitude for the counselors that have helped me over the years. (Thanks Kathy, Rich and Lisa!) I am so grateful for what I understand about myself and my brain thanks to the help of these wonderful people. Just thank you!!!

Blog postTried Procreate but doing my normal way of illustrating. (Blue pencil sketch, ink drawing, scan and color digitally).
The prompt was a year old Facebook post from @candace.laughead about a woman giving her 3 nickels and a dime for her shopping cart at Aldi.

Blog postI’ve been realizing that drawing and illustrating are very calming to me. I get to let my mind wander and work through things. Finished the ink drawing in photoshop. Do you like my fall colors?

Blog postGot my students in my Intro to Illustration class to take photo reference for this piece as a class exercise. So many of them did a really great job. The winner is going to get a copy of SERVED! This was a fun piece to work on because I usually don’t draw the back of people’s heads too much.
