We had a recent Sketchjam theme of “Undead” and I figured a good ole sketch of Vampira would be fun. Her real name was Maila Nurmi and she came up with the idea a campy macabre character and said that the Charles Addams New Yorker cartoons inspired the look. Hence the likeness to Morticia Addams. She went on to Host a few television series including her own titled The Vampira Show.
I'm a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Flash Developer and proud metalhead. Yup. Had the mullet, a badass kutte and everything. I've loved drawing since I was a wee lad and got into video games when I first laid my hands on an Atari 2600. So that led me to do even more game themed art and I eventually found myself taking Virtual Reality in college. I emerged as Graphic Designer in 1999 and have had the opportunity to work in Video Game companies, e-Learning companies and Design companies ever since.
