As a freelance artist with over 30 years experience in graphic design and illustration, I combine my creative skills with my love of horror, science fiction and grind-house/cult movies. For everyone from the Halloween & haunt industry to mainstream businesses, I offer quality service and affordable rates for all my graphic design and illustration work. Whether it’s a retro pin-up model poster, a giant monster movie DVD sleeve or a zombie slasher t-shirt logo, if you need custom-created graphic design or illustration to promote your business, movie, band or event, simply contact me for more information about what I can do for you.
