I've also been a shoe and clothing salesman, waiter, projectionist, bartender, casino dealer, Air Force guided munitions handler, and a flight medic. I studied Biological/Pre-Medical Illustration at Iowa State University but I have a passion for science fiction, fantasy, and surrealist art. I love bicycle commuting and riding in general, working out, video and tabletop gaming, woodworking, mini painting, and fixing stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5acfab5c85ede1042478e1fc/1524795380729-5SANY53TB4L1CB2IRKBF/Headshot_20140416.jpg about - About me I'm an illustrator and fine artist from Ames, Iowa.
