I'm currently working on a book of illustrations called
BROKEN ENGLISH (working title). It should be complete by the
end of the year. Click on the image below to check it out.

Geographically, I've had the good fortune of living in several places
around the world: Dubai, South Africa, Sri-Lanka, Saudi Arabia,
Pakistan, New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco to name
the major ones. Along the way, I managed to pick up 5 languages.
I play the guitar, although lately it's changed from playing live
gigs to lullabies and nursery rhymes.
I've dabbled in interior design, usually homes and offices, but I once
designed the interior of a restaurant in San Francisco.
At one point I studied hair and makeup at the Paul Mitchell Institute.
Yes I dropped out before graduating, and no you can't call me Zohan.
Oh and I'm a U.S. citizen.
