About Me

Life ....v2.0
I'm just an artist guy, and these are some of my paintings. I'm still looking for clearer scans of them.They are all sold. I love the whole quiet and desolate American Outback experience, but it's a bigger universe than just that, inspirationally speaking. And right now, I'm so busy doing commercial design, that's where I burn off creative energy (and hours) ...in these times, having a job itself is a blessing, but being able to get paid for something you love doing...well, heck.
Here's some digital art, practice sessions, work in progress...
Just some design work I've done over the last few years.
Some Hawaii Pics.

Nothing helps put things in perspective like travelling to other places, not that I get the chance that much these days.
I love retro and kitsch culture, and ultramodern design in architecture and fashion.
I also love Japanese Design. The order, the lack of clutter, the simplicity...

A friend of mine once said "a life of quality, not quantity."
