I have an unusual ability to think technically. I am a big gearhead, my hobbies include machining and fabrication, I studied architecture in parallel with art, and my Dad was an engineer. I can visualize complex elements, assemblies and spatial relationships in three dimensions in my head.

My illustrative forte is, not surprisingly, technical illustration. This is a broad category which includes medical illustration, scientific illustration, patent illustration, illustrative maps, and real estate marketing illustration, which include floor plans, tier plans, site plans, and location maps.

I don't just make pretty pictures, I make it a habit to learn enough about the subject to understand what I illustrate before executing the images. In addition to feeding my voracious curiosity, this aids me in producing very accurate, communicative images. Which is exactly what you need in an illustrator.

I also have significant experience with editorial illustration and photo-realistic illustration. As a photographer, I have the experienced eye to perceive light and lighting effects, and recreate them in illustration, as well as using photography to create my own source material.
