A note on compensation:
I'm only able to consider work and publishing opportunities for which I'd be paid a specified rate (I include advances against royalties in this category); profit-sharing or spec work will not be considered. I've got personal projects to occupy my attention should I be in a position to take on work without surety of payment, and, while I certainly do my absolute best with any project that I decide to undertake and try to pour as much of my heart and soul into it as I'm able, non-personal projects (i.e. anything someone brings to me) are there to pay the bills.
COMICS & GRAPHIC NOVELS:

Are you available to do art for a comic/graphic novel?
Probably not. I tend to plan my bigger projects well in advance, and mostly prefer to write my own comics, or work with collaborators who I know well. "Probably" doesn't mean never, however, and small-scale projects are sometimes on the table, particularly if they pay well (taking on smaller good-paying jobs allows me more flexibility in determining my longer projects). If you're with a book publisher and are interested in discussing a project, please reach out to my literary agent, Charlie Olsen (charlie@inkwellmanagement.com).

FILM, TELEVISION, & VIDEO GAMES:
What kind of work are you best suited for?
Production design, especially at early stages of a project. Environments, props, costumes, some layout. I've got experience with historical research for projects and enjoy working on historical stuff. I feel like I'm best suited to historical and fantasy settings, or science fiction that leans towards organic forms (i.e. Star Wars rather than Star Trek), especially with environments. Lots of experience with European medieval stuff, nautical and pirate stuff, early American historical stuff, American wild west, ancient Near East, Biblical stuff, ancient Greece, Greek mythology, Rome, Roman Empire stuff, 19th century Africa, early 20th century China, Norse mythology, North American folklore (monsters and lumberjacks and such).

Are you available for design/story work?
It depends on the scope of the project and my schedule, but I'm generally available for production and design work if I can work (mostly) remotely. I prefer to work freelance, but would consider limited crew work for a project I'm excited about if either I can work remotely, or if the duration of in-person is reasonably limited; no interest in relocating permanently (would consider temporary relocation for outside-the-US productions if family can accompany). Please feel free to contact me via e-mail if you think I'd be a good fit for what you're doing.

BOOK & MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION:
What kind of illustration work are you best suited for?
I've got experience in and enjoy drawing historical subjects, fantasy, folklore/myth/religion, and spooky stuff. I can do interiors illustrations, cover work, and diagrams and cutaways (like a castle or a ship, etc). I work both digitally and traditionally (ink and watercolor), depending on the needs of a project.

I'm generally available for illustration work, depending on the scope of the project and my schedule. If you think I'd be a good fit for your project, please contact my agent, Charlie Olsen (charlie@inkwellmanagement.com). I'm usually not available for editorial illustration because I'm usually juggling multiple projects and can't plan for the turnaround between assignment and delivery that such jobs usually require.

POSTERS/BOOK COVERS/MUSIC & MOVIE PACKAGING
What kind of work are you best suited for?
If you want to incorporate the text and the art in a way that you feel will reflect the project, that's my wheelhouse. Likeness no trouble on movie and music stuff. Please see some of my posters to get a sense as to how I handle this kind of thing.
