Even though my focus has been on game design I have always had an interest in art and graphic design. I enjoy creating art for fun or for games that I work on. It provides great insight into the life of a game artist as well as a great alternative medium for my creativity. This page features my work as an artist.
Recently I began a comic strip based on World of Warcraft. It follows the adventures of two up-and-coming young members of the Horde, Swainbank and Zeek'thas (Swain and Zeek). I plan to submit each entry to Blizzard's monthly WoW comic contest. Working on Swain and Zeek is a way for me to fine tune my basic digital art techniques and explore the lighter side of one of my favorite games.

As a designer I have found that it is very important to get acquainted with the techniques and tools of the art and tech sides of the game development team. In my experience, a designer's ability to take on simple art and tech tasks is a much appreciated help to the artists and programmers.
My gallery section showcases some of the instances in which I have operated as an artist for a given project. It also contains some other artwork made for class or for fun.
