Artist Statement
I consider myself a cartoonist, more than a conventional fine artist. My work is traditional in an old-school, cartoony way, but influenced by European comics and 2D Animation. I believe my experience as a Storyboard Artist informs my comics work, and vice-versa. I admire clear and elegant storytelling, whether it’s in animation or live-action film; to me, Miyazaki is as great an artist as Kurosawa.
