About Me

I enjoy my life by the sea in Long Beach, California. It's a great town for artists: Very mixed, culturally and economically, with the ocean, the desert, and the mountains all close by. I do a lot of live playing, and I'm spending more and more time in the studio. I'm also spending many hours lately doing something brilliant which I discovered fairly recently: Gardening. I find it to be a constant source of inspiration and relaxation! I love photography as well. I've been doing that since I was a young fella, and I never run out of subjects. As you see on my site, neon is a particular favorite of mine. Los Angeles is a "mecca" of neon, and the first neon sign in the USA appeared in L.A, back in the '20s. Neon has led me to some great people, like DAVID WITHAM, with whom I've done many artistic projects, neon and otherwise, and MIKE THE POET, a questing Los Angeles resident with a keen eye and a strong delivery. I'm busy these days, trying to stay ahead of the economic downturn, but when I'm done I like to check up on YOU and your latest works of genius!! Write me a note letting me know exactly what's going on, and I'll give you my report from the West Coast, which is the Best Coast (*_*) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
