Bio

I work with a lot of really amazing and interesting people, on projects ranging from magazines and books to character development for animation. I also work for childrens' and educational publishers. If you are interested in seeing more of my work online, take a look at Illoz.com and CAPIC. You can check out all the latest news, opinion, and info on my blog at Drawger.

I work in a small barn that houses a fleet of bicycles on the first floor and a big bright studio on the second. Life in Prince Edward County is very busy, filled with activities like mountain biking in the summer and playing shinny on the back yard rink in the winter. I have also designed labels for beer and winemakers.
