Art is smart bwahahaha

About Me

My artistic experience began as a child. I was a compulsive doodler ...no paper or surface could be left alone! I love cartoons and humor! As a student I drew caricatures and cartooned notes for my friends. I attended Cooper School of Art in Cleveland, Ohio. Once I started with the cartooning.... I never stopped !! Since then I have drawn caricatures at corporate events, schools, theaters, museums, country clubs, trade shows, various fund raisers, promotional events, festivals & more. I love creative stuff & work in a variety of mediums. I can draw with both hands at the same time! I also perform mime, do computer graphics, murals, calligraphy and illustration. I enjoy writing and have published some newspaper articles. I have created block cartoons, books for kids & poetry that I intend to publish. I believe being an artist is not just about what you do....it's a reflection of what you are!



I am available for sketching caricatures at special events, promotional events, trade shows, schools, fundraisers ,churches, bar and bat mitzvahs, parties, coporate events... I also create original custom art, just contact me and I'll answer any questions.

Yet another Elvis sighting
When I was a toddler Mom says I crayoned the length of a wall and as high up as my little arm would reach. Mom was quite the artist. She would do wonderful pencil sketch portraits and copy the illustrations from books. I figured that's one of the things ya learn as you grow up...like learning to read and telling time.
