Hi! I'm currently a storyboard artist and character designer at Disney TV working on Wander Over Yonder! I just finished a 6 year run as a story artist at DreamWorks were I boarded on How To Train Your Dragon among other movies. I'm an Emmy Award winner for my character designs on "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends". I've worked as a storyboard artist and character designer at Nickelodeon on Danny Phantom, and a character designer at Disney TV for too many projects to list. I've been nominated for 7 Annie Awards and have recently self published my first graphic novel: "Seaweed, and the Cure for Mildew." All work is is a copyright of me unless it's for some studio I'm working for.

Mark you always leave such kind comments, and I really appreciate them!
Cosmicpencil, I'm in the process of inking and coloring the book. I'll hopefully be done in time for comic-con 2007. I'm planning on putting together a big art of book after I get the initial comic published.
Alan, thanks he also flys around in a fully camoflaged P-38 Lightning named the "Thunder-Bitch." Maybe I'll post some of the drawings of that.
Thanks also jeepster, I look dorward to seeing some art on your new blog.
