| Industry | Arts |
| Occupation | Concept Art/Production Design/Storyboard artist |
| Location | San Francisco, CA, United States |
| Introduction | I discovered in 2004 that I no longer wanted to fight my artistic inclinations and decided to follow them to the Academy of Art for my MFA. Since then I have discovered that drawing and designing new worlds and creatures is where I belong as I can lose myself to the process and all other time and space seems to fall away. The next goal is to find a job that lets me do that on a regular basis. |
| Interests | Films for design, books for inspiration and music to work and dance by. |
| Favorite movies | Where to begin... The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, The Neverending Story, The Last Unicorn, The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Star Wars trilogy (IV-VI), Seven, Perfume, Shawshank Redemption, The Princess Bride, The Secret of NIMH, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Batman Begins, Superman, America's Sweethearts, Ratatouille, Casablanca, The Maltese Falcon, Heavenly Creatures, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Vertigo, Mr. and Mrs. Smith (Hitchcock, not Brangelina), Roman Holiday, Sabrina (Hepburn), Little Women (K. Hepburn)... ok this list could go on and on and on.... |
| Favorite music | I'm going to use genres since the list will be longer than the films: rock, punk, hard rock, metal, alternative, grunge, goth, house, Johnny Cash (a genre unto himself), Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke ellington, Benny Goodman, Loreena McKennit, Billie Holliday, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole |
| Favorite books | Ay yi yi! Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles and Mayfair Witch chronicles, Terry Pratchet, Neil Gaiman, Herman Hess, Brothers Grimm, Poe (I know, how broodingly artsy of me) and many others. |
What reason do you have to believe the earth is flat?
The fact that I have seen the great turtle that carries us all.
