Bad artwork, heavy metal and lot's of beer! Well, there's a bit more. I met my lovely wife, Heidi, 13 years ago and we've been married for 8 plus years now. We have two great kids, Aidan (nearly 4) and Wylder Grey, who is 3 months old. We found a little house in El Cerrito, CA and sunk everything we have into it. I work for a merchandise company, FEA Merchandising, designing shirts and merch for everything from the Eagles to Hilary Duff to Insane Clown Posse. Freelancing over the years after high school (BHS - 84) I got to work for bands like Metallica and George Clinton, Paris and Anthrax. Got a gig designing fan club shirts and merch for Aerosmith, Megadeth and Lenny Kravitz in the late 90's, then hooked up with a local punk (well, it was supposed to be "punk") merchandise company, Cinder Block. Cool people, lousy management, bands were fair, but not the "punk rock" I remember - we did shirts for Green Day, AFI, NOFX, etc....guess I'm an old sarcastic fart who remembers punk being MDC, BLack Flag, Stooges, Crass, Angry Samoans, Fang, Boneless Ones, Verbal Abuse, Receiving Studios, Fab Mab, BTU, Sauce Factory, Juliet Harris's room, Issac's mohawk, Kevin Keckley, etc.....started Metal Babies (metalbabies.com), my heavy metal baby clothing company back in 2002 for the birth of my son. Left Cinder Block to tour Ozzfest a couple of times, and finally gave up on CB, to work for myself and FEA. Got a few gigs designing shirts for the Stones, Metallica, Exodus and a few others. Love hanging with my family and hanging with the friends, life is good. My kids rule my world, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Always listening to music, good and bad, still drinking, good and bad, and trying to keep doing art, good and bad.
