About Me

I am an artist in the genre of glamour or pin-up. I work with a wide variety of themes, but everything I do can be described as classy, cute, emotional, mysterious, or fun. Explicit or violent themes aren't really my thing, but I have no problem with other people doing such things. My creations are based on real people, and I paint internationally known models such as Monica Hansen and Sophia Innsbruck, but I also paint "girls next door". I am constantly working on dozens of new ideas; it's not unusual for me to spend 12 hours a day working. Though I guess you can't really call it work; that would imply that it's not fun or fulfilling - it is very much both. I've had some questions lately about whether or not my work is done digitally. The answer is NO! None of it is done digitally; it's not even enhanced on the computer. What you see online is a digital capture of the original. The paintings are created using airbrush, heavy-body acrylics, watercolor pencils, colored pencils, and metallics. My official website can be seen at www.scbartworks.com I'm also on ArtWanted.com! Visit ArtWanted.com!***I have images available for all you taggers to download at www.upyourart.com . UpYourArt is the ONLY place to LEGALLY download my images. They only cost $2.00 apiece and you get a license number. I enjoy seeing the tags people make using my work, and as long as you purchase the images from UYA you have nothing to worry about. If you have any questions regarding the use of my images, please contact me directly!...And for those of you in the Des Moines area, you can see many of my original paintings at: THE BEAUTY PARLOR - upper level, Airport Plaza, 4214 Fleur Drive, Suite 15B! While you're there, get your hair done by Hilary! Or if she's busy, Linsey and Brianne can also get you lookin' good.

My Interests

I'm going to shock you here: one of my interests is ART. haha. I like lots of stuff though actually. Food, wine, beer, nature, baseball & football (and hockey!), classic muscle cars, antiques, politics, music, road trips, yadda yadda yadda....

I'd like to meet:

Always interested in meeting other artists, regardless of what you do; taggers who enjoy using my tubes; models; anyone else who is nice. I don't bite, generally.

Music:


Movies:

I am by no means a "movie buff", but I like what I like. And what do I like, you ask? I like classic Hollywood icons like Marilyn, Audrey Hepburn, James Dean, and Marlon Brando. I also like Steven Seagal movies, classic horror movies, and most good comedies.

Television:

I'd say less than 3% of all television programs are actually worth watching. I mean come on: "Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?" What the F*** do you think? I was smarter than most 5th graders when I was in 2nd grade. Good god. Who watches this? But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, for we still have cartoons like King of the Hill, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and American Dad. And we have "24" which kicks serious ass. Oh and Sienfeld in still on in syndication so that helps too.

Books:

I don't read as much as I should, but the books I like - I REALLY like. Ayn Rand's novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged inspire me to be an individual and to stand on my own 2 feet every day. I also have always enjoyed George Orwell, the poetry of Shel Silverstein, and biographies of interesting people.

Heroes:

Hank, Bill, Dale, and Boomhauer.
