About Me

I was born in Toronto, am half canadian half american but live with my german wife in a tiny village between Hamburg and Berlin. For the last few years I have begun to paint pin ups with oils on canvas. Since the beginning of 2006 I have been doing it full time. I am allways looking for new models. So if you are interested please let me know. Preferably in germany, but if you are in the states or canada, dont be shy. I pass through now and then or we can cooperate online. If you are interested in commisioning a painting of yourself, your wife or girlfriend, please contact me. Costs depend on the size and how many figures. The reference photo should be in digital form. Saves us the expense of extensive travel. You must have all rights to the photo! Of course all my paintings can be bought as canvas prints. Costs depend on size but are around 100 â‚¬ plus shipping. Some motivs are available as posters and for those who really appreciate my work there is allways the option of buying an original.

My Interests

Other than painting pin-ups... I am an old roleplaying geek. I like shooting around with my selfmade bow and arrow in the backyard and I love black and white monster and sci-fi films.

I'd like to meet:

Models that would like to get painted. I was critized at my last exhibition for allways painting the same lady. Wonder what Rubens would say to that.

Music:

SchnÃ¼ffel of course! At the moment I also listen to lots of reggae and jazz. My favorite band at the moment has to be the horrorpops. I would like to paint their singer, but the tattoos would be tricky to do.

Television:

Mystery Science Theatre 3000

Books:

Other than Tolkien? Prachet, Asimov and anything about History, preferably ancient history.

Heroes:

My wife, for putting up with me. Best thing that ever happened to me.
