*About four months ago I was so happy to learn that my very good, long time friend, Edmond Hawkins, had landed a wonderful job as the head animator on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. And as I was watching last nights episode, online, while I drank my coffee this morning morning, I was so excited to catch his second TV appearance + first close up on the show as a back ground actor for a hilarious weekly skit called, "Second Floor West." The skit is basically making fun of reality TV shows like The Hills + The City. Edmond did a great job acting surprised while he ate his pizza at the exclusive pizza party, when Miles + Lauren walked in to cause a dramatic scene. Great job Ed ^_^ !
When I first learned to talk, I told my mom that I hated coloring books and I wanted a blank piece of paper to make my own lines. After graduating from high school I moved down to Philadelphia, PA where I attended, and recently graduated from, the University of the Arts, with a BFA in Illustration. Since then I find myself trying my very best to live out the life of an artist, having my work shown in various galleries around the country, including; The Society of Illustrators (NYC), Jinxed gallery (Philadelphia, PA), The Compound gallery (Portland, OR), Gallery1988 SF (San Francisco, CA) The Suite 100 Gallery (Seattle, WA) Think Space Gallery and Gallery1988 LA (Los Angeles, CA) etc. Though I call myself an illustrator + designer, I really just like to make things + I find my mediums constantly changing. I find the greatest inspiration in the passionate people that surround me and in lingering childhood memories.
