About Me


I love life for soooo many reasons.... my family, our kitty Ziggy... my work... my friends... music... art... & the new paths I travel!
I like to think of the positive in life and have difficulty under- standing what drives SOCIAL INEQUALITY, WAR and destructive negativity... I feel life's meant to be lived to the fullest of one's potential and I wish everyone at least had that opportunity.
Being amongst family and friends who share passion and love for life is the best! :)
MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER & GRANDSONS!
December 2006
Jared on the "Hot Line" in the Vin Scully Press Box at Dodger Stadium... I was one of several chaperones for his 5th grade class field trip!
My adorable niece Allison did her first photo shoot!
She's auditioned for just a few things so far...
I'll keep you posted on our rising star!

I've just completed an online gallery of art by Ella Elman. Talented and diverse... I'm sure you'll enjoy her work!

My Interests



My Artwork
I am a Visual Communications Artist and established my own company, JoDzigns, in 2005. With over 30 years experience, I must say I am thoroughly enjoying a wonderful career in this field! The above slideshow reflects some of my most current work.

I'd like to meet:

I took a picture of this great 1975 photo of Elton John which
is hanging in the corridor that leads to the Vin Scully Press Box
at Dodger Stadium!

I love creating animated gifs!

Artwork I created for one of my newest MySpace friends, Steve Furlong's music is captivating! Below is his incredible video/song titled "Nothing"... you're in for a treat!

Movies:



Robin Hood: Men In Tights (1993)
One of my favorite movies when I need a good laugh! A parody of the story of Robin Hood, particularly parodying Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The film also does minor parodies and references on previous Mel Brooks's films, modern-day jokes, and other popular films and people.

Television:

Heroes:


Here's my littlest SUPERHERO who reminds me to laugh, play, have fun and remember what's important in life :)!
