How it Started:
Kings and Kingdoms started when I decided to create a Fantasy styled musical piece (K&K Suite.mp3) back in 2005. I wanted to try and hit every emotion and range that I could in the genre. After I created the piece, I designed a One Sheet poster page to promote the track. This artwork (link) lead to a series of drawings and sketches which developed into a story. From there, 100′s of drawings, illustrations and a full album were created surrounding the project.  The first of the series is entitled “Eless“.
