Christopher's career began in the special makeup effects industry. He designed and created creatures for various television and film projects, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly, and many horror and monster movies. Since 2005 Christopher has worked in the tabletop gaming industry, specializing in monsters. Book illustrations, trading cards, miniatures, anytime monsters are involved, Christopher is interested. Most recently, he has been focusing on building a world first envisioned in 1998. The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia is a book of monsters and stories, written and illustrated by Christopher, and is the first book in the series. The book, a Fifth Edition D&D stats guide, coloring book, enamel pins, and the book's original work are now available!
