Hello Steemit, an introduction....
From the urging of my friend Peter @gric, I've decided to finally experiment with Steemit. I'm a professional illustrator and writer of science fiction and fantasy.
I broke into the illustration business working on such properties as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Vampire Masquerade, Cthulhu, and more. I've also done some comic book covers and concept art for films. For years, I've done art for other people and huge companies, now it's my time to create art and books just for myself.
In 2012, I officially moved from the U.S. to Vienna Austria. I came for love and luckily fell in love with the city and it's history also. Though sadly, it has also been a very difficult time and I started questioning my career desires and even my perceptions of reality. It's led me to use art as a sort of therapy. I jokingly call it Artchemy, an obvious play on alchemy, from lead to gold. In this new phase, I've started creating very personal pieces that infuse esoteric and psychological elements for creating how I interact with the world. All of these changes forced me to start my own business and to also follow my passion of writing.
I hope that you will enjoy following my process here with future posts on Steemit.
Some upcoming paintings I'm developing.

Preliminary sketch for Phönix at Golden Dawn.
I'm excited about sharing this new phase of my life and artwork with this very exciting and dynamic community. Thank you for taking a look.
