Who do you think are the top character designers out there?

Hmm... Off the top of my head I would say Sergio Pablos, Alessandro Toccaceli and Steve Silver


What are some of your favorite character designs which you have seen?

I liked the mice that Alessandro Toccaceli did, I also like alot of Steven Silvers work.


What is your most favorite subject to draw? And why?

I like drawing just about anything, as long as I can put some kind of unique spin on it. I try to make the unbelievable appear believable. That is my goal. To me that is more interesting than drawing something realistic. Don't get me wrong, realism is nice too, but I feel there is not as much room for creativity.

What inspired you to become an Artist?

Reading Mad magazine and comic books when I was growing up. I always wanted to draw for Mad magazine. Also animation like Tarzan and Ren and Stimpy really inspired me to pursue art as a career.


What are some of your favorite website links that would be relevant to this Blog?

I like conceptart.org , characterdesigns.com, cgtalk.com and this site of course to find out about new artists I wouldn't have seen otherwise
