Indeed it's true. He is neither automaton nor mystical wood nymph, though one could be forgiven for thinking otherwise. He is, instead, a freelance illustrator based in the fine city of Portland, Oregon. Most of his art is made with a brush and some paint; usually gouache, sometimes oil, and very occasionally spray paint (if he's feeling frisky.)
When not making art, you can find him collecting too much of too many things and spending time with his lovely wife, precocious toddler and neurotic dog .
If you'd like to commission some art, give him a ring.
