ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR:
I am writer, artist, & graphic designer. I work mostly in the toy industry as a product/packaging designer, but after dark, I sweat and bleed comic books.
I graduated from UCLA with a BFA in Drawing and Painting, then went on to study for fifteen years at the Animation Guild in Burbank. The craft of drawing the human figure has been essential to my professional and personal creative endeavors. In 2005 I co-created the animated series Alien Racers, for MGA Entertainment, and co-wrote a ninety minute special for Cartoon Network. Since then I’ve written and illustrated three graphic novels, and am currently developing my fourth book.
