About Me

I'm an artist and this site is intended to document the process of making art. I'm working as much as I can and constantly thinking about the making part. I try to use the blog to narrate the process, for a record of the evolution and hopefully as a teaching tool for my students to get a sense of what makes me tick as an artist and why I make certain choices along the way. Check my pics for a retrospective of my work. Living in Eastern N.C. with my wife and son and the modest beginnings of a 300 Pug army. 4 dogs, 3 very strange cats including one who that's naked. 2 Guinea Pigs and the indestructible Boat the fish who will not go into the light.

My Interests

I'm interested in things.

I'd like to meet:

The guy who invented flip-flops. Although I don't wear them myself, lots of people do and I bet he's loaded.
I would also like to meet the guy who figured out animated gifs so I could give him a severe brow beating or something like that...
And of course Polamalu

Steeler Nation
