Storyboards

Storyboards are an essential part of film and animation, allowing the story to be pre-visualized before cameras start rolling. Presentation boards are more high-polish and used by Agencies to sell a commercial concept to a client. Shooting boards are quicker, typically b&w illustrations that are more concerned with showing a Director's vision of what shall happen before the camera.

Graphic Novels

I'm mostly drawn to genre and high action storytelling for middle grade audiences and up. Depending on scope, budget, and availability, I can take loose ideas and form them into a story or adapt an existing work (novel, outline, or script) into graphic novel storytelling.

Graphic novel services include outlining, scripting, layouts, line art, and color. I'm primarily available for layout and illustration jobs but can also package a project together from start to finish.

Author Appearances

Author Appearances typically include a discussion of the graphic novels, with side quests into how they are made, research trips around the world, and the occasional drawing demonstration followed by a Q&A. Graphic Presentations are flexible and tailored to the audience I'm talking to- mostly school, libraries, and conference visits in my function as a graphic novelist.

Live Drawing

What started as street busking on Venice Beach has evolved into mostly events work. Having a sketch artist livens up any event, from block parties, festivals, office parties, weddings, film shoots and advocacy work. I specialize in Bespoke, Live Portraiture drawn and given away on site. 6 minute portraits in black and white or 16 minute in watercolor- location limited to Los Angeles but open to travelling.
