I live in Southern California and I'm a character designer and illustrator just trying to find my way. I've worked on projects for Nickelodeon, Renegade Animation, FOX, and MTV, as well as many independent clients.

I am currently a designer and illustrator for Warner Brothers Creative.

I love drawing, baking, taxidermy, graphic novels, my pet hamster Amelia, fruits and nuts, smoking my tabakky pipe, going new places, having adventures, and honest, loving people.

----------------------------------------------------------

I have a rule that I live by - I will be friends with anyone as long as they can reach out of their own subculture to share a series of real, honest, human moments with me. I don't consider myself a part of any particular subculture, but I have beautiful amalgamation of people who do - goths, nerds/geeks, BDSM, furries, bikers, club people, stoners, hipsters, punks, young, old, you name it. This goes for religion, too - I have friends of every major religion, yet I am a very stout atheist and humanist.

I never understood people who get so stuck in one subculture that they can no longer get close to others outside of it. It's also sad when people won't affiliate with someone just because they happen to be into something a little out of the ordinary. It's happened to me, and I realize, the people that shallowly judge - and the people who can't talk to me about anything other than their shallow, culture-based bullshit - don't last long in my life.

Yes, I draw cartoony things, AND emotional things. Apparently some people around here can't take emotional artwork, but they obviously have their own issues if they consider themselves artists but are not able to let go of difficult energies through their art if they wished to.

By the way, my nickname is Critter.
