Chris claims to have “always been drawing, since a very young age,” influenced by his mother, aunt, and grandmother, all of whom are amateur artists. Of course, he could still be considered in his “young age,” as Chris is currently an art student at Madison (Wisconsin) Area Technical College. His main focus has been illustration and concept art, and he plans a second degree in animation. Chris has done freelance advertising and videogame work and exhibited his art locally, but Graphic Classics: Bram Stoker presents his first published editorial illustration.
