Alex is a disgustingly
upbeat and optimistic person. His work appears in the editorial, advertising, and publishing worlds.

Ugly and rough, enjoy.
Also prints, and shirts.
2026 review.
Alex was born and raised in Philadelphia (go birds!), graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, and currently lives and works in New York. He has been illustrating for bunches of years, and has worked with a wide range of editorial, book, animation, and advertising clients, on projects big and small.
His work has been both accepted and rejected from some of the world’s most prestigious awards competitions.
When not illustrating, Alex can be found playing street hockey, eating donuts, and generally hobnobbing around New York with his wife and kid.
He lives in Queens and draws in Brooklyn.
