# About me

I haven't really colored since I was a kid, but have recently found it to be very fun. I've met so many talented artists, inkers, and colorists in the short time I've been "back" to DA and their influence has been substantial. I'm still looking for my own style while admiring the fantastic style of others. The one thing that keeps me motivated is looking at the old deviations of my favorite artists and seeing a vast improvement to today's work.

I'd say I'm most inspired by strong female characters. There is not much a woman can do that would make her sexier than if you think she can kick your ass. I always ask myself if the colors I am laying down are helping to enhance the piece, or if they are just there for the sake of being there. I've done countless pieces that I do not post to DA because I feel they don't meet this criteria, and a few that maybe have slipped in anyway.

I just got commissioned to color a graphic novel. Unfortunately I cannot post the results on this site. I'm very excited to get started.

If, by chance, you are wondering about hiring me for a project, send me a note and maybe we can make an arrangement.
