I'm An Angel Without A Halo, & One Wing In The Fire

About Me

The things I value most are God, Country and Family.I have been called many things, a “Dichotomy”, because my interests are all over the board and sometimes seem to contradict each other. A “Left Brained Artist”, because of the thought process I go through in doing my art. And a “Renaissance Man”, because of my pursuit of knowledge and experimenting with a wide variety of activities. These are just a few.**************************************I believe in God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost. I also believe that we create what we think. Good and bad!********************************I have been a student, teacher, athlete and a coach. In my youth I was a soldier and still believe that freedom was paid for in blood. I have worked as a mechanic, manager and business owner. I am a proud parent and grandparent. Currently I am involved with marketing, coaching and art.****************************************I play hard at work, and work hard at play. This makes life a lot more fun. I am on an adventurous journey. God only knows where it will take me, but it is exciting.************************************I am far from perfect, but I do believe in things like Honor, Duty, Integrity, and Character. If you are patient with me, I will usually get it right. I believe that I have been forgiven, and I am forgiving.************************************************** ***********Hopefully, when I leave this earth, I will leave it a little better than I found it.This piece was completed with the help of my mentor, Leonardo da Vinci. It represents those times when God heats you up, and puts you on an anvil, making you the person He created you to be.This is a project I have been working on for 5 years. There are over 200 of what I call Pictograms. If a picture is worth a thousand words, what is a picture of a word worth?LOVE...is something that will keep growing if you work at it.SEARCH...When you search for the meaning of life, do you use a microscope or a telescope?COMING SOON.....Slide Shows on; Baseball Art, Geo Political Art, Ancient Greece, and Pin-up Art. See ya soon!The above flyer shows both hand illustration and a finished painted product. The photo (lower right) was taken at a liquor store in Littleton, CO. This application includes four painted wine barrels, and a 4' x 6' plexiglas mural.This illustration was done for a local phone book cover. The original drawing was done in a style called "Pointillism". (Thousands and thousands of hand drawn dots) It was then scanned and colored in PhotoShop

The Part of You That No One Sees
You are powerful, passionate, and dominant.
You have a vision of how things should be, and you do your best to make things happen.
People rely on you for your strength. You are a rock to many.

Underneath it all, you aren't so sure about your passions.
So many ideas spark your interest, it is hard for you to get behind a select few.
However, you see indecision as a sign of weakness. So you pursue your goals full force - no matter how foolish they turn out to be. What's the Part of You That No One Sees?

I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !

I'd like to meet:

Being an artist, I would like to meet these ladies and do for them what DaVinci did for Mona Lisa.If you are interested in my doing some art of you, please drop me a note. I am looking for networking possibilities and will entertain any ideas.SPECIAL REQUEST: Mrs DiMaggioI'd like to meet a girl, like the one in the Brooks & Dunn song..."There ain't nothing 'bout you, that don't do somethin' for me.".......................................................S he makes me feel alive!

Music:

My favorite song of all time is DESPERADO by the Eagles. It's much more than a song to me.I also like several others including, but not limited to, Sheryl Crow, Creed, Bon Jovi, Brooks & Dunn, Bob Seger, the soundtrack to "All the Pretty Horses" and the list goes on & on. I like most everything, some more than others. I also enjoy discovering new music and performers. Most recently, the Sharla Jackson Band. She is amazing! Music can change the mood of a day, and I always want to be in a good mood.

Movies:

I like movies about redemption. If it happens to be set around baseball or history, that's all the better.............................. Some favorites are:........ Gladiator........................ The Last Samurai........... King Arthur.................... Legend of Baggar Vance.. Saving Private Ryan....... Blackhawk Down.............. *************************** Field of Dreams............... Bull Durham................... For Love of the Game....... *61....................................

Television:

I am dreaming of a Yankees vs Rockies, World Series. This will happen in my lifetime. I am going to go to all seven games, and I don't even care who wins Game 7.A new era begins. GOOD LUCK Coach Nick Saban "I know there's tremendous expectations here," Saban said at a news conference. "I can tell you that, however you feel about it, I have even higher expectations for what we want to accomplish. I want to win every game we play."

He lies in the arms of the Lord.

Books:

Favorite Authors: Non Fiction-Nathaniel Fick,"One Bullet Away"Fiction-Steven Pressfield, "The Legend of Baggar Vance", "Gates of Fire", "The Last Amazon", "Tides of War", "The War of Art"

Heroes:

Spartan King, LEONIDAS - "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws we lie."APOSTLE PAUL - "...we rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."LEONARDO da VINCI - "Who sows virtue reaps HONOR."General ROBERT E LEE - "Do your DUTY in all things. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less."ABRAHAM LINCOLN - "...that this nation under GOD shall have a new birth of FREEDOM,..."TEDDY ROOSEVELT - "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor souls who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."General GEORGE PATTON - "A man must know his DESTINY... if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder... if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.Coach PAUL "BEAR" BRYANT - "The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards."RONALD REAGAN - "I'm convinced more than ever that man finds liberation only when he binds himself to GOD and commits himself to his fellow man."
