High school chemistry class used to be confusing at best. Then I imagined what the chemical elements would be like as characters. Suddenly everything became a lot more interesting...

An artist from birth, I was the kid who drew in a class all the time. This phase perpetuated well into art school - where it was actually OK to draw in class! As the senior year approached, they encouraged us to come up with an idea for cool drawings that combined everything we'd learned at school and gave insight as to who we were and what inspired us. Drawn in pencil and colored in Photoshop, I took my first love - characters - and combined it with a strong idea to create these 112 illustrations for the periodic table of elements.

These days, I'm concepting an entire world in which these periodic table elements live, and a story to go with that world. I'm also selling flashcards on my Etsy shop to help kids around the world learn about the table of elements.
