About Me

..
I'm an advertising and comic book artist born and raised in Dallas, TX. I promote comic book and sci-fi conventions in the DFW area, and travel to other shows across the United States. I also have my own website where I write movie reviews and do interviews with stars. Anything else you want to know about me, feel free to ask.

Check out BAD PLANET from Raw Studios and Image Comics!

My buddy Tom Jane has a new movie coming out soon. It's called KILLSHOT, and he co-stars with Diane Lane (hawt!), Mickey Rourke, Rosario Dawson, and Johnny Knoxville. It's based on the Elmore Leonard novel, and directed by John Madden (SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE). A married couple (Lane, Jane) placed in the Federal Witness Protection program are targeted by an experienced hit man (Rourke) and a young upstart killer. Sounds pretty cool. Be sure to look for it when it comes out. There should be a trailer up soon. I'll post a link when it hits. In the meantime here's a promotional image from the film.

My Interests

Going to movies, travel, meeting new people, comic books, collecting movie memorabilia, movie scores, cooking, art, and doing voice impressions.

I'd like to meet:

I've been very lucky in my life to have met many cool and interesting people already. But if I had to name some I haven't met yet that I'd like to, then I'd say Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Patrick Stewart, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Jim Belushi, Howard Stern, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, Nikki Cox, Katherine Heigl, Pamela Anderson, Scarlett Johansson... I could go on, but I won't.

Music:

I like classic rock and techno music, but I mainly collect movie scores. Not movie soundtracks mind you, but the orchestral scores from films. Absolutely love them.

Movies:

Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite movie of all time. Others include The Shawshank Redemption, The Edge, Jackie Brown, The Last Boyscout, Blade Runner, Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead, Orgazmo, Fletch, Boogie Nights, Glengarry Glen Ross, Amelie, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, most of the James Bond films, and last but certainly not least is Planes, Trains and Automobiles.Click on this widget to visit the INDIANA JONES website!

Television:

LOST, Las Vegas, Medium, Gray's Anatomy, Scrubs, According To Jim, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Saturday Night Live, The Late Show With David Letterman, Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and Last Call With Carson Daly.

Books:

Rather than name specific books, I'll just say I've always loved the works of Stephen King and Ian Fleming.

Heroes:

Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Peter Jackson, Stan Lee, Hugh Hefner, Ian Fleming, and my mom and dad... oh, and this guy:
