I started my career almost 30 years ago doing art for advertising, and publishers of teaching materials. Soon after I started illustrating Star Wars art for Brown Shoe Co., and designing shoes, toys, novelties, collectibles and products for over 30 companies. I’ve worked for several magazine, game, comic, medical journal, and children’s book publishers, plus cover art for Random House and Wings Press. Currently I’m a medical illustrator for the Journal of Allergy and Immunology, I do fan art for conventions, artwork for gallery shows, private commissions, cover art, and I’m an official fine artist for Lucasfilm and Disney.
