Shawn grew up in the remote snowy
Northwoods near the shores of Lake Superior.
After high school, he moved to the city, went to
college, held various jobs, and had many
adventures. During that time, he met and married
his dream girl and they had children.Shawn and his family and their mean-looking, but good-natured, dog have since packed up, sold
their plot in Suburbia, and now reside in an
idyllic setting near a trout stream, not
terribly far from where he spent his youth.
In addition to his part-time jobs during
college, Shawn took his first steps into
commercial art with various gigs in editorial
and advertising illustration, design comps, and
storyboards. He sidetracked for a number of
years into the hornets nest of offices and
startups, only to eventually return to the
serenity of his studio.
Shawn has been a
full-time freelance artist since 2002, working
mostly in comics since 2005 for Marvel
Entertainment, DC Comics, and WildStorm
Productions.
