He began his career as a free-lance illustrator, initially working on assignments for various magazines and publishing companies.

His exhibition history includes eight solo shows and twelve group shows many of which were reviewed in major metropolitan newspapers He also created several series of posters, both abstract and realistic that sell internationally. His career as a free-lance illustrator continued, but the posters and exhibitions allowed him to be more selective in the projects he accepted.
