BIOGRAPHY

From an early age I have always loved to draw and as I grew older I constantly worked on sharpening my abilities. My teenage years were spent writing graffiti and spray paint was my tool of choice. Because of graffiti, I became interested in learning how to airbrush and have been engaged in it ever since. I have 20+ years of experience in the field of Graphic Design. This includes projects rendered with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. In recent years I have also ventured into animation, utilizing software such as Adobe After Effects, Cinema 4D and ZBrush for 3D Modeling. I work in the news industry and produce multiple graphics on a daily basis in a very fast pace and demanding environment. This forces you to not only be proficient at your craft but also to be creative on the spot, under pressure. It has made me far stronger than I thought I would ever be. I am also well seasoned in Traditional Fine Arts such as drawing and painting. I can handle Oil, Acrylic and Watercolors and my drawing materials include graphite, charcoal and pastels. Using these items in conjunction with the computer has sped up my process as well as allowed for flexibility in editing for changes. In addition, I am a very accomplished airbrush artist- having painted over 100,000 tshirts and other various items at events such as Bar Mitzvahs and Corporate Events. I have also custom painted many automotive projects such as motorcycles, trucks, helmets and car parts. Murals have also been a passion of mine, having started them in high school and continuing to this day. I have been asked to paint walls for interior designers, businesses, and children's projects. I currently live in Long Island, NY with my wife Tara and our two daughters - Paulina, and Claudia.
