About Me

I'm a hired creative guy. People rent my brain by the hour. I make my living directing TV commercials, stuff with lots of special effects, doing 3Danimation and effects and designing sets for events like corporate meetings. Sometimes I do some ad agency work. I've owned my own company or been freelance for 20 years,basically in the film and advertising business. Recently I've started painting again. All thumbs. It's been way too long. 3 house renovations and 2 kids in 8 years will suck the art time out of your life. But things change and I'm carving out some time. The kid with the fish, in my pics, is one of my paintings from about 10 years ago. I'm a lousy speller, even though I can read quite well. Layout made by Chaos13 at CreateBlog.com .
