About Me

Professional blk Freelance Illustrator, pinup artist & Indy self publisher from Boston, Mass

I'm a Laid back, Passionate, Open minded,Independent thinking artist, whose not one for following crowds or getting into the "IN" thing...Who you see is what you get and even though I mostly have models (some scantily clad I'll admit) on my page, it DOES not represent who I am as a person.

CJ Art Portfolio:

TRUE PINUP: It was originally going to be a 7 issues series but has become a 40 page, single issue. It should FINALLY be out on or around February 14.
