I began my Etsy shop with hopes to share my artwork with as many people as possible! As far back as I can remember I've been an artist. It's who I am and I hope to grow my business and raise funds so that I can spend my time traveling the world. There's so much to see out there and to chronicle my experiences I keep many sketchbooks, in which I draw portraits, landscapes, cartoons, comic-strips, and all sorts of other zany & imaginative things. The creative process is a language for me. It's my voice. My "Drawn to See" illustration is a personal work that I've gone on to reproduce as prints, posters and I've even printed on apparel. My artwork t-shirts and prints are owned by some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, from individuals such as the legendary Stan Lee, film directors including Christopher Nolan, Steven Spielburg, John Carpenter, M. Night Shamaylan, Wes Craven, and Zack Snyder.. actors and actresses such as Johnny Depp, Hayden Panettiere,Chris Hemsworth, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Sam Huntington, Kevin Costner, Lawrence Fishburne, Cassidy Freeman, Diane Lane, John Glover, Robert England (Freddy Kreugar!!), Kristen Stewart, Corey Feldman, Seth Green, Macaulay Culkin, Casper Van Dien, Danielle Harris, Michael Rosenbaum, Sam Witwer.. to name a handful! It's my hope that my shop can continue to grow and reach people around the world and that my artwork will inspire and entertain in the process. Amongst other creative projects, I'm also currently developing my own comedy/adventure series titled GUARDS. You can learn more about the project and follow along with artwork news and updates at .. www.lifeguardstudio.blogspot.com. The characters and story stem from my own experiences as a lifeguard, so the project is very much quasi-autobiographical. All shop purchases contribute in some way toward the progress of the series.
