His work has been commissioned for numerous game and comic projects such as Wizards of the Coast's Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons and Dragons, Sideshow Collectibles' Court of the Dead, DC Comics' Sandman: The House of Whispers, and Activision's Diablo IV. Sean is also one of several artists participating in the U.S. Mint's Artist Infusion Program, which commissions artists to submit designs for various circulating and non-circulating coin programs.
Sean also spends time working on his personal world-building project called "The Great City of Gateway" - which is currently under production as a board game and table-top RPG. Sean currently lives in downtown Sarasota, FL with his wife, Kathleen, their son, Connor and their dog Rosie and cat Bun-Bun.
