About Me

About me: I'm a 57 years old and have a lot to learn. I care about people, even though it doesn't seem like it . I see things in a different light. I dream and hope for a better future..................What can I possibly say about myself? All I ever wanted to be since I was a little boy was to do Art. My one true love though has been painting and I enjoy painting landscapes and whatever else catches my eye. I see things in a different light than most people. I can see the beauty that lies within a person or an object. I can hear the sounds that could be. I am in self thought quite often..................I worked for 28 years for Hasbro Toy company as a Senior Designer and helped create one of the best known toy figure lines in history, G.I.Joe from 1981-87, along with WWF, My Little Pony, Mask, Hungry Hippos, Sesame Street, Star Wars, Cops, Pirates of Dark Water, and many many more until I was let go in 1999. I now have my own company working for myself as a Freelance Designer and Illustrator......................Art and the Love of family is my lifes work and I am trying constintly to improve myself as time rushes by me. Life is to damn short and before I go I want the world to see my Art....................The biggest thing I can leave an aspiring artist is to Draw Draw Draw. and never stop and always improve and learn and always notice and observe what is around you..................My biggest dream is to paint in Giverny, France at the home of the painter Monet. To see what he saw, feel his steps within the earth, To breath the air he once did. To show the emotion and depth he gave people through his art. Some day, some time......................One thing that I simply hate is Stupidity and people that are stupid in what they do. People without brains! People who don't think first then act....................I admire honesty in relationships and talking things out instead of acting irrationally and compromising in relationships. Everything is never one sided and all of us are Not Perfect! Always work things out, you will be a better person for it!.....................
