I’m a Canadian-based realist painter, illustrator, and multi-disciplinary designer. I blend my background in fine art and architectural design with a lifelong passion for cinema to create alternative movie posters and pop-culture-themed illustrations with a painterly approach.
My artwork is traditionally hand-drawn and painted with real materials. I do this because I love the physicality of making art. I also hope this physical-world creativity and showing an artistic hand provides a bit of intrigue for viewers in this increasingly digital world!
My primary creative goal is to design and create officially licensed artwork for entertainment brands, pop-culture galleries, and publications, including movie, television, and sports-related content.
If you like what you see in my portfolio and
think it would be a good fit for your project - I'd love to hear from you!

Artmaking Process
My traditional hand-painted illustration work is done on gessoed illustration boards using Liquitex Acrylic Gouache. A finish layer of coloured pencils (Caran d’Ache Luminance) is applied to render the final image.
​
The original painting is then photographed and imported into Photoshop. Depending on the piece, I may also add a few digital layers or enhancements at the end to bring it to life, such as color-grading layers over the original painting to achieve a specific graphic effect. Titles and billing blocks are added as digital layers at the end.
