I'm a New Yorker now living in Los Angeles for the past thirteen years. I am and have been an actor for over twenty years. Five years ago a friend asked me if I knew any illustrators as he had a freelance illustration job he needed to hire someone for. I told him I'd do it. He said, "I've known you for years. You can draw?". I told him, "I think so. I used to. Let's see if I still can.". Turns out I can and I love it...AGAIN! So after a twenty year hiatus I picked up a pencil again and started to draw. This awoke the need to create again as well as get back to a desire I had as a young adult, to write and illustrate stories for kids.
