Oh fo' sho!

About Me

Born and raised in sweet home Chicago. I draw, take pictures and make pictures among a lot of other things. I'm a bit of a film and television geek. I'm pretty much a geek all around. Faith, family & career oriented. I also design ads and draw stuff for a local arts & entertainment magazine.

New crap coming soon!
