My passion for stretching informed my early development as an artist, from emulating the styles of the comic artists I was reading to creating dungeon maps, monsters, scenes and characters for Dungeons & Dragons and science fiction role-playing games as a teenager. I drew incessantly as a hobbyist then, and still do so to this day.
Thinking back about how and why I pursued a path in the arts, the passion to tell stories through drawing sits deep as a motivating, primal factor.
