I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My first influences were comic books, and after a couple of years of going nowhere, I discovered the small press network where I could create and publish my own comics. Of late I've experimented with comics in the newspaper format(which I like a lot). My art style isn't quite realistic enough for the comic book industry, but I think it could serve quite well in doing illustrations for childrens books. Since I enjoy writing stories as well, this just seemed like the right thing to try next. I am looking to start my own publishing business soon, and would enjoy talking with those who are doing independent publishing, both from a writer's and illustrator's perspective. I hope to make a few contacts here in this community, and am interested in working with writers and other illustrators as well. My preferred medium is vector(Adobe Illustrator), but I can work in pen and ink and have experimented with water colors as well.

One of my class projects was an illustrated "guide" about germs and the importance of good hand washing called "Attack of the Germs". I am looking for a publisher for this completed project, as I think it would be a great fit for young readers 1st thru 3rd grades, perhaps as a "prize" in a doctors office for a good check-up, or in a dentists office as a reward for no cavities or something. Can anyone point me in the right direction?!
