About Me



Though lately I've been negligent in working on this particular area of interest, I once was a very prolific painter. I thus give you some examples of my most praised works of art.

"Man Pointing the Finger"

The following is a concept series of three works that constitute what I've titled "The Man/Hole Saga":

"Man Falling Down A Hole"

"Man Getting Out Of The Hole"

"Man Walking Away From The Hole Pretending Like Nothing Happened"

...and finally, as a special bonus, my masterpiece:

"Man Pointing The Finger At The Man Getting Out Of The Hole"

I also used to make badly drawn cartoons, Click here if you want to see them.

For a good time message me on AIM - "RavensClawWings"
