Animals

I have always been inspired by anthropomorphized characters, primarily from the stories of my youth, but also from mythological tales and fables. I am particularly interested in the beginning of the modern age in America, from the middle of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th, and it is here where I like to set my characters to tell interesting and forgotten stories of America's immigrant origins. To read some of these tales (an ongoing collaboration with writer Aaron Greyson) please refer to the "Stories" tab.
