| I began drawing a lot at age 10, impressed a lot of my classmates and teachers with this newfound talent. I didn't have any specific influences at that time but I did wanted to be either a comic book artist or an animator. I became a big fan of Anime in the mid-80s and would try to emulate that style into my work. From there I grew towards other directions in an attempt to find my true visual voice. When I became exposed to computers and designing artwork in a digital format I wasn't real crazy about it, but once I began learning Illustrator and Photoshop then the experimenting began and I developed the style that currently resides in this gallery. This collection consists of digital and handmade artwork from the last ten years. None of the images have titles because I cannot think of any that would compliment the work... besides the images speak for themselves. This album is a growing, progressive and on-going collection of new pieces added almost on a daily basis. |
