About Me

I am an eccentric, artistic type that wears black because I don't do color well.
~I am also told I am Vintage.~
Which is a nice way I think of saying that I am getting old.
I am a pen and ink as well as digital artist. As you can see my taste runs towards Dark Gothic Fantasy Art. Below are examples of my work and links to my webzine and online shoppe.
Besides being a graphic artist, I got a love for black cats, graphic novels, old houses, old cementaries, old photographs, good friends and clutter. I enjoy creative people. Imagination is the most power gift man has.

The final blog entry of fallen soldier

It isn't often that I run across something on the internet that makes me pause and reflect. For the most part I am a tad cynical about human nature as well as being a tad jaded about the net as a whol...

Fall

The past never really leaves you.  It may recede for a time, like the tide, but then, like the tide, it can come rushing back in bringing all sorts of recollections in its wake.  It happens ...

Eccentricity is Justifiable

A long time ago at some obscure bookstore in Oklahoma City I picked up an odd little book called "Meditations" by Thomas Moore, not to be confused with the Irish poet.  I read pieces of it at the...

The Sign of a Good Vet and the Sign of a Bad Vet

Most everyone that knows me knows I have a strange affection for cats. It is something about the feline mystic that enamors me. Maybe I have some ancient Egyptian DNA. The Egyptian's actually held cat...
