About Me


Artist: Illustrator, cartoonist, using airbrush, brush, acrylics, watercolor, pencil and ink, mixed media. On pretty much most surfaces: canvas, board, instruments...If your interested in something custom, contact me, let's chat, see what we can accomplish.
Still play music though not in a band setting at this time. I prefer solitude for now.
Ok, I'm a clown. Moody at times, friendly, a loner. I believe I have multiple personalities. Well that's what they tell me (the other ones)
I try to catch my bad self and put him in check but he picks up the ball and runs with it at times, those most manic of moments and then I have to clean up the mess he left.

I've never been a sports fan, don't know why. I'm not a typical male, can't even drive a stick! I'm a Peter Pan type. Guess I'll never really grow up. That's alright, my kitty Jazzy keeps me there,

My Interests



Art: I love fantasy art from Frank Frazetta (The master) to everyone else you'll find in The Spectrum collections The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art...then there's the good girl art from Vargas to Dave Stevens and of course so many more, then graphic novels like The Preacher. And the comic artists out there as well as everything you'd find in Bud Plants Art Books. Check out this catalog! www.bupsartbooks.com you'll thank me.

Music: from playing my guitar, to writing songs, to performing, to listening to it. I'm a trivia buff storing so much junk knowledge. I wish I knew how to apply this to things I really need to learn.

Love my cats dearly, Jazzy my soul mate in a kitty & Sprite. Also love to cook.(just not them)

Kustom Kulture & Lowbrow art rocks!
