It's not having what you want; It's wanting what you've got

About Me

"sometimes it's so hard to find what it is i'm trying to say. people might think you can turn creativity on and off, but it's not like that. it just kinda comes out. a mashup of all these things you collect in your mind – you never know when it's gonna happen. but when it does, it's like magic. it's just that simple ..and it's just that hard." –gwen stefani

"around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.we keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious.. and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."
-walt disney

"every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around." marilyn monroe painting completed in july 06. digital design submitted for a contest in octobor 07. ..

My Interests

A little about me: Born in Oregon, raised in Oklahoma, and now live in Dallas Texas. I keep myself busy with certain hobbies. I like to sketch from life, paint on canvas, take interesting pictures, restore old photos, play basketball, bike ride on the trails, and love to spend time at the park with my little girl. I would hang the moon for her anyday. We always have a blast when I drive to Oklahoma to see her. I work as a Graphic Designer for a video game marketing company and love every bit of it.


Been through a bunch of schools growing up:
George Washington Elementary
Silo
Roff
Byng
Latta
Ponotoc Area Vo-Tech
East Central University
Southeastern Oklahoma State University
and the Art Institute of Dallas


One of the things I really like to do is sit out in public and draw people. People fascinate me. The clothes they wear, facial expressions, the different shapes and sizes they all come in. I've met a couple of people this way. This one guy walked up to me asking, "hey man, whatcha drawing there?" I looked up, smiled, "uh – you".

I'd like to meet:

anyone, anywhere, anytime, in this life and the next..

Music:

Classic bachelor pad,
playful exotica and
vintage music of tomorrow.

Books:

Heroes:
