About Me.
I have been into art and drawing since I was very little; my mother is a traditional artist, so I have been involved in an inspirational environment literally my entire life. When I was a kid, my favorite things to do were dressing up my plastic dinosaur toys in hair ties, or stealing my mom's sketchbooks and drawing comics in them. Here we are eighteen years later, and I am in school to be a graphic novelist and children's book illustrator!
I currently have one children's book published and have two graphic novels in the works!
