Visual Art – Kansas City

I am a graphic artist, illustrator, writer, bookbinder, and amateur historian. I have lived in the KC area for my entire life (except for four years in college, but I was still close to home!) My artwork consists of a mixture of digital and traditional media, mainly focused on historical and fantasy subjects, particularly character designs and portraits. I also study medieval bookbinding techniques and create finely crafted custom journals and sketchbooks.
