ToyDesign

I have a toy robot collection.

That's probably a good sign I really love toys , and love creating them.

I also play a lot of games. Which might be why I love the challenge of getting inside a problem and finding an interesting solution.

I've created entire product lines from the bare-bones, "blue sky" concept stage to final design. I've worked on POP and in-store marketing initiatives, brand identity and logos, dielines, technical illustration, vector art and illustrations galore.

I regularly work with major and small business clients in the toy categories of Activity, Arts & Crafts, Baby, Bath, Electronics, Learning and Roleplay as well as non-toy industries of Food & Beverage, Health & Beauty and Home & Garden.

I'm happy to discuss any project to see if we're right together - go over to my "Contact" page and give me a shout!

Bio

What I Believe

What I Do -

I 've been designing toys for such companies as Hasbro, Disney, Crayola, Mattel, Jakks Pacific, Toys 'R' Us and more for a decade.

I'm also currently expanding my illustration work in the fantasy, gaming, Sci-Fi and Children's publishing.

Clients include Evil Hat Productions, Penny Dreadful Productions, Savage Mojo, author Catherynne M. Valente, Author Chuck Wendig and more.

I paint primarily in watercolors and

inks, using Arches papers, aqua pencils

and anything else scrounged up

around the studio.

I'm always looking for new

opportunities - contact me if you've

got something in mind.

Likes: Animals, cupcakes, tin toy robots, growing things, netsuke, Harryhausen movies, liquid eyeliner and the power of Individual Ingenuity and Creativity.

- What I Believe

What I Do

I believe that the art of pencil and paper isn't dead. I love being a painter, but artists need to evolve to live; to appreciate the Wacom as well as the anatomy class; to keeping trying to be the best we can be.

I believe that every adult can be transformed by art and become, if only for a minute or two, that child that still believes in magic, monsters, Fairies and Santa Claus.

I believe its possible for children to enjoy the old classics like Baum's Oz tales when re-illustrated for modern young minds. Drawing inspiration from old masters like Rackham, Dulac, Tenniel and Parrish and and modern geniuses like Lane Smith, James Jean and Dave McKean,

I intend to make it so.
