# About me

I am an artist who has been drawing, doing art or expressing some type of creativity since as far back as I can remember (4 or 5 years old?). Currently, my career has been in the Commercial Art (Graphic Design) field and I have worked full-time as a Graphic Artist for about seven years. Right now am in school to get my Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Communication. I am also Freelance Graphic Designer who has created work for many clients, businesses, business associates and people of various backgrounds. I’ve produced hand-done portraits & illustrations, designed advertisements, book covers, CD covers and packaging, and created various other types of design work for printed material. On my spare time (whenever I have it), I draw or sketch Manga/Anime-style characters in my sketchbooks (mostly manga/comic book concepts), create digital art (whether I’m colorizing my Manga/Anime-style characters, Illustrating or painting portraits), and every now & then I practice sketching Realism and figures. I also write material for several graphic novels that also plan to illustrate and get published in the future.
