Presently:
I produce digital color art & page separations for DC & Marvel Comics. Current projects include the New 52 Superman and The Avengers. I also work with Visual Storyline producing storyboards for national & international television advertising campaigns such as Nissan, Miller Beer, Cheerios, Pillsbury, Yoplait & many others.
I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and raised there as well as parts of Colorado. After graduating High School I studied Fine Art at Community College in Phoenix. In September of 2001 I graduated from the Art Institute of Phoenix earning a BFA in Animation & Commercial Art.
I made my start in the field of Commercial Art in 1995 when I was hired on as an in-house color artist for Chaos Comics. Being it was still the pre-digital age in comic books & illustration I produced hand coloring with traditional mediums such as markers, gauche and airbrush. Since then I have had the incredible good fortune of 15 years working with the industries' major publishers, advertising agencies, studios and artists; as well as contributing to multiple premier properties & licenses.

MISSION
With over 15 years working in illustration, advertising & the comic book industry, my mission statement for Color Fusion remains the same:
It's about the work, having fun, and only results count.
Providing years of hands on industry experience and high-caliber work is the key advantage in ensuring a successful project from start to finish. Producing high-caliber work takes understanding technology, coupled with strong industry experience, and the ability to adapt and adjust to a client's needs; followed up by prompt service. Exceeding client expectations is going the extra mile and taking the extra effort with the details, which in the end, separates the average from the exceptional.
