I am a sci-fi and fantasy book cover designer and illustrator.
I have always been a huge science fiction and fantasy fan. My favorite part of illustrating is creating a sense of awe in my images. I love creating epic scale into my scenes, and any kind of giant monsters… especilly dragons.
I have been working as a full time illustrator and designer since 2013, since then I have created over 1000 covers and hundreds of other illustrations. A few of my clients include:
I was born in Saskatoon, SK, Canada, where I grew up. I moved to Mexico about 10 years ago and met the love of my life Sarai, we have a 7 year old son Jacob who we love very much. Jacob has severe Cerebral Palsy, which is a huge challenge for us in a lot of ways. He is an amazing kid, full of energy and love. He is insanely smart, but lacking muscle control which means he can’t walk or talk yet.
When I’m not creating digital art, I enjoy traditional painting, reading, video games, spending time with my family, travelling, going to museums, and taking Jacob on adventures nearby. A few of my personal favoite authors are Joe Abercrombie, Jim Butcher, and Brandon Sanderson.
