I've had a great opportunity to be published throughout the small and medium press, from Australia to the UK to here in the US. My art has been featured in various publications, including Cemetery Dance, Midnight Street, City Slab, and more. I've also had the opportunity to do several book covers, including T.M. Wright's Cold House, Gary Braunbeck's From Beneath These Fields of Blood (Shocklines Press edition) and a number of books from both Silver Lake Publishing and Undaunted Press. In 2002 I was honored with a submission in the prestigious Spectrum 9 Art annual, a collection of the best in contemporary fantasy artwork. In September 2004, my art will appear next to author Neil Gaiman's prose on the 2005 British Fantasy Society Calendar, based on the work Sir Gawain and The Green Knight.

I'm not sure if I have a particularly set style or not; my influences are great in number. I think I absorb just a little of all that I see in the world, whether it's horror or graphic design or even film animation. Working with the genre press has really helped me grow, as the stories that I am offered to illustrate are rarely cut-and-dried. They are mostly psychological stories, and as an artist I am often challenged by the editors and publishers to come up with an image that can define the story, or in some cases the feeling of a full novel.
