OK, so I'm on MySpace - now what?

About Me

Artist, Unmedicated, Right-handed. All around creative–I even write. French fries are good also. My cats keep yelling, why won't they leave me be?

Alright, so what to write about myself? I've loved to draw ever since I could hold a crayon in my hand. I tend to do pen and ink drawings mostly, but have ventured into painting in recent years.

My favorite artists include the usual suspects: Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh. I do like Francis Bacon, Edgar Degas, Andy Warhol, Marcel Duchamp. Obviously there are many more to list, but I won't. I tend to be inspired by the abstract, expressionistic, surreal or what have you. I also like really simple line drawings - Distilling a subject down to it's basic essence. I also like the letter "T".

Anyway, thanks for stopping by -
say hello...
