Adequate Man - ProfilesArchive

About Me

I am a professional artist and art teacher. I teach art to at risk children. I am very proud that my job gives at risk children a safe way to express themselves and helps them to dream of being more. I enjoy the time I spend helping children. I use my art talent to help people. I am best known as creator, writer, and illustrator of the Adequate Man comic books. Adequate Man is an all American Hero. Adequate Man is proud of being good enough. If something is good enough, he doesn't see a need to improve it. He can handle any situation. It may be in a simple logical way and not glamorous but he handles it. He drives a Volkswagen Beetle because it is the least car that will always be good enough.
