Hello, and thanks for spending some time checking out my stuff. "Spade" is an art moniker that I picked up growing up and is easier for people to remember than my real last name. Thus the URL here. I understand it is a bit confusing.

​

I am a digital and traditional artist living in Denver, CO where I create art in various ways. I grew up in the burbs in-between Baltimore and Annapolis, spent some time living in Glenwood Springs Colorado and then attended the Art Institute in Philadelphia where I earned a Bachelors of Science in Computer Animation and I was able to win the Outstanding Achievement Award for my graduating class. I spent some time at MTV animations in New York where I worked on shows like Daria and Spygroove. I then moved onto doing graphic design for a Federal Government contractor in Virginia where I spent about 7 years and assisted in winning a number of multimillion dollar proposals. I was then offered a senior Designer/Illustrator role for Primal Wear which is the #1 Custom Cycling Jersey company in the United States here in Denver where I have been living ever since. I enjoy working with a wide variety of mediums such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender, Zbrush, 3d Printers, acrylic and Spray paints and of course the trusted mechanical pencil and sketchbook.
