Summary
I am a life-long student of art history, and I apply that knowledge to my commercial art career as much as possible. If studying art history has taught me anything, it is that to be remembered as a creator, you must do something that no one has ever done before. Currently I run my own design business and am always looking for new client projects. My past clients include Twitter, Samsung, New Balance, Bluescape, Ubisoft, FANDOM, Wargaming America (World of Tanks) I was also a full time artist at J!NX.com, where I designed licensed T-shirt graphics and other merchandise for Mojang (Minecraft), Blizzard (World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Hearthstone, Diablo), 343 Industries (Halo), and CDProjektRed (The Witcher). My licensed apparel designs can be found at Amazon, Target, Kohls, Hot Topic, and Walmart. I also go by the artist alias "Prolific Pen", and write the popular webcomic Prolific Pen Comics (over 90K regular readers on social media and counting).
