Art that moves the heart.

About Me


I love art!

I carry a clipboard and pencil with me everywhere I go.


I love drawing and painting portraits.

Not to pat myself too hard on the back but I love the fact that I'm good at it too!


Hi there!
Thanks for visiting my MySpace page.
Be sure to check out my latest blog
featuring a new portrait painting
of my friend Kelly Abbass.
Kelly is a professional model from
Toronto, Canada and has her own website:
www.kellyabbass.com
I hope you enjoy my new painting. :)
I do my best to remain optimistic in every situation .
I love kids.
I have never experienced what it's like to have a headache and from what I've heard I never wish to.
I don't get sports.
I root for the underdog.
I never put myself down... there are enough people in this world ready to do that for me.
I strive to surround myself with positive/successful people.
I love good conversation... ...the more varied the subjects the better!
I love sleeping in when I can.

I love music but mostly in the Prog/Rock category.

My favorite band of all time is the Canadian Rock group RUSH.


I find my heaven in every cup of coffee I drink - 3/4 coffee with 1/4 milk (not cream) and a dash of sugar.

I love comic books!

I'm a comic book artist at heart.
I love science fiction and fantasy and enjoy any and all literature or art related to these realms.
When I was a kid I loved Japanese Monster Movies! Guess what? I still do!

"I believe in my powers.

I believe in the powers of my team mates."

- Mystery Men

I use my powers for good!


I have a fun loving yet twisted kinky side. Confidence, intelligence and strength turn me on. Cowardice, ignorance and fear do not.
Right now I am the happiest I have ever been in my life. I am taking complete advantage of being single and loving every minute of it.
Time is my friend.

I love romance.

I love to snuggle.

I look forward to the day I make the woman of my dreams my very own.

I am deceptively confident in more ways than I will ever let on...

Now YOU can have a GIANT penis too!The guy who coined the phrase "Nice Guys Finish Last" just so I could punch him right in the teeth.Someone who's not afraid to tell me to finish what I started short of beating me with a stick. I admit it... I need a good push once in a while... ;)
