Rough start. Love studying story and creating characters. They’re super rough. I cant wait to create final character boards.

I’m happy and making a living through art. Upset I can’t animate without the hardware and software, I begin marching a path to not only get those materials, but to start cutting towards the entertainment industry. I started studying on my own, creating characters, and writing. An artist’s work is never done.

Good Times! I had a job, I had my own studio, I was dating, freelancing on the side. Between tattoo designs, comics, conventions, and graphic design - I was finally feeling like I can get my life on track. And then in 2013 my computer crashed… for the 3rd time. There was no coming back this time. Still with student loans looming overhead - I was broke and any digital work and animation I worked on died. I lost work, I lost clients. I had to work exclusively traditional.

My illustrations are getting better and inking was struggling to get off the ground. Big mix of comic and tattoo sketches in here. In retrospect: A lot of work that never went anywhere in here. A lot of naiveté. The Lord Canti print remains a fan favorite to this day.

Pre-and-Post-Graduation sketches. I can remember my eagerness to get an opportunity in the Animation Industry. This book reveals a lot of little hustles I did to find any work I could get. I was lucky to get a job as a graphic designer at a screen printing shop for $10 an hour. I was very hungry here. The end of this book shows my first time embracing inks because I knew Pencils weren’t going to cut it for my first outing at a booth on Free-Comic-Book-Day. Tattoo Inking differs from Comic Book Inking. Growth…

My first sketchbook from Senior year in high school. I was working at Dunkin’ Donuts, playing PS2, had just discovered my first comic book store and started reading Spawn and Street Fighter comics. All the while looking for a tattoo artist to get my first tattoo. This book ferried me through college. All the drawings are too light like I was afraid to commit.
