Introduction	I am a New Jersey based artist with more than 19 years of professional experience. I attended The Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia for four years where I graduated with honors in 1994. In 1996 I accepted a position with Mattel, Inc. (Formerly TYCO Toys) where my creative versatility enabled me to work in a variety of areas from both product & package design to brand identity as well as illustration. I went on to receive many company wide awards including Mattel’s “Standing Ovation” for my innovative work on the Matchbox “Street Chess” line. In 1999 I achieved world wide exposure as a sports artist when Matchbox released the NBA collection of vehicles featuring my artwork. Since 2004 I have been working as a full time freelance artist where I have quickly built a diverse client list that includes some of the biggest names in the toy, entertainment, motion picture and sports industries.
