“I was inspired to do fantasy art when I fell in love with Ralph McQuarrie’s Star Wars concept art and reading fantasy fiction as a teenager,” he recalls.

He generally prefers doing figurative work as he enjoys painting anatomy and faces that have some form of narrative. “My preference tends to lean toward strong females and gritty darkthemed backgrounds.”
