Drawing since 7 years old. Won a 6th grade award for a cover design. Began to trace and copy things a lot. Had numerous wildlife magazines to be inspired by pictures and other artists. I've plastered art all over the walls in my bedroom in the teen years. My brother and I were model car and slot car enthusiasts back then. Late teens, my family were billiard players, complete with a dance floor, jukebox and indoor BBQ. Ping-pong, air hockey and the swimming pool were favorites too. Carnivals and basketball were good for shootin' for donuts with the neighbor kids. We had a donut shop too. Kickball.baseball...we did just about everything. We had paintings throughout the house...most were gifts given at Christmas. I painted a few cars and motorcycle tanks. My first job was working for a custom motorcycle seat shop. I also worked in print shops designing logos and paste-up. My Parents, brother and I were bakers back then. We made good money. I bought my brothers 67 Firebird car, and my friend helped customize it in his dad's body shop. I was pretty much self taught, a lot of time was spent developing and drawing in perspective, mostly realistic. I kept it pure. I wanted to be a cover designer, but also wanted to race motorcycles. Today I work on 8&1/2x 11" paper or card stock, most of the drawings on this site are recent color pencil work. I also do mostly t-shirt designs. Enjoy!
