Design school, architect, exhibit designer, graphic designer, game artist and world designer in that order. ... but all I’ve ever wanted to do is write.

 

That’s an old joke. I’ve always preferred drawing, and still think best on paper;  but with new and improved tools come new methods. Today, I work almost exclusively digitally.

 

This is the third iteration of this website, but the first since 2004, and a lot has changed.

 

The site was built entirely with  Adobe Muse Beta 5, so I expect a few occasional glitches. Feel free to e-mail me with any issues, and of course, with any questions about the work or site.

 

This was launched in 12/11,  but there will be an upgrade in the spring of 2012 when I add a blog and other features.

 

Thanks for visiting.
