I graduated from the Sheridan college program for classical animation, and have since worked in the video game, tv and movie industries as an animator and visual effects artist. Keeping my skills varied and general, I’ve been able to work on a wide variety of productions, but it’s always been a goal of mine to create something of my own, and put it out there.
So, for the last few years, Black and Blue has been a side project of mine, to create a world in my own visual style. Being a long time fan of classic film noir movies, I try to incorporate elements of design and story telling from that genre of film, and to create something unique and interesting which reflects the things which have inspired and drive me to do what I do.
My first foray into comic books was a one off first issue of Black and Blue, which has since changed and evolved to an online bi-weekly format. I find that it’s a good way of engaging and developing interest in Black and Blue, while still producing and honing my art.
Thank you for visiting, I hope you enjoy Black and Blue.
