I am a life-long visual artist - started drawing with crayons at 4 years old as many of us do, upgraded mediums of course, but never quit.

I create medieval-inspired pieces ranging from historically accurate fictional to high-fantasy. I've always been an enthusiast of historical warfare, arms & armor, castles etc. which naturally parlays into Tolkien, Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer etc. Now I take stories and characters that I dream up and visualize them via my art. My use of the digital canvas is not elegant. No fancy tricks, by hand, simply, painfully.
Where do you find inspiration?History, fantasy, and anywhere those things can be found. On a trip to Europe, in a video game, a book, an online group, a renaissance fair. My inspiration comes from the heritage, stories, and interests I revel in every day. History is my sanctuary, fantasy is the front yard. Together they are the two parts of my happy place.
What would you do with $25,000?Well that's a good question... I'd probably put a good amount on my past, and the rest toward my future. (Student loans & Investments) ... a cheeky trip to Poland and the Czech Republic might slip through the cracks though, if you're not careful. I do have a growing list of ancient castles which need climbing on.
