Illustration Highlights

At Comic-Con International 2009, I debuted two fun and sexy pin-ups inspired by models Miracole Burns (left) and Meredith Placko (center). At Comic-Con 2010, I debuted a pin-up inspired by model Monique Duval (right). The art was available as trading cards and 13x19" Comic-Con Limited Edition high quality prints.

I've also illustrated artwork for a licensed Star Trek print available at an official Star Trek convention celebrating the 20th anniversary of Star Trek: The Next Generation. A special guest at this Creation Entertainment event, I had the honor of autographing with actors Jonathan Frakes (William Riker) and Marina Sirtis (Deanna Troi) this official Star Trek collectible for attending fans.

In addition, I was invited by Lucasfilm to be a guest at the Star Wars Celebration IV Art Show which brought together an incredible roster of talented artists who have contributed to the Star Wars galaxy. For this historic event, I illustrated artwork for a limited edition Star Wars 30th Anniversary lithograph. This high quality and official Star Wars print was limited to only 250 hand-numbered and autographed editions and available exclusively to Celebration IV attendees.

Film Credits

I illustrated comic book inspired production art for the movie musical Zombie Prom. The film, featuring 1950s style comic art and live-action scenes, debuted at 2006 film festivals winning the Best Short Film Award at Palm Beach International Film Festival, the Indie Soul Best Picture Award at Boston International Film Festival, and both the Best Comics-Oriented Film Award and Judges' Choice Award (for best overall film) at Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival plus many more! In addition to Visual Effects (pencil artist), I'm also credited as Technical Support and the Webmaster. Learn more at zombiepromthemovie.com.

Jedi Knight

I'm also the real-life model for the Star Wars character Kai Justiss. Named after me and based on my likeness, this enigmatic Jedi's appearances include several issues of Star Wars Insider, Power of the Jedi Sourcebook, Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and the Dark Horse comic book Star Wars: Jedi -- Count Dooku, which has been collected in Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 4 - Light and Dark. Kai Justiss has been illustrated by acclaimed artists Jan Duursema, Chris Trevas, and his creator Joe Corroney. Writers that have contributed to his story include Pablo Hidalgo, Daniel Wallace, Abel Peña, and John Ostrander. More info can be found at the StarWars.com Databank [starwars.com/databank/character/kaijustiss] and in the Kai Justiss entry at Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki [starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kai_Justiss].
