Because I’m a creative person, this page should probably hold my deep pseudo-intellectual thoughts concerning the superior visions of progressive politics, how the planet is burning up, uneducated fictitious environmental concerns, and how we should all give polar bears swimming lessons, whilst dancing around the genius enlightened visions of hope and change, (I’m not one of those people) If you are one of those sad types that must know my political leanings before you view my website |

I’ve never been the best person to describe myself or my work although, I’ll give it a decent try here… I’m a Designer, Illustrator from Upstate N.Y. Finger lakes Region, My work can vary within several styles - I like to work within the realist realm with a touch of a cartoon flair. Most if not all of my work starts from a simple pencil sketch whether it’s started at a desk, a quiet park, or even amongst a few friends. My sketchbook travels with me everywhere I go, even seen in my doctor’s waiting room. Over the years I’ve worked on many projects ranging from simple pencil designs, to commercial storyboard works, animation, graphics, corporate logos, basic websites, murals, and freelance projects for small businesses, authors, to even some concept works for Universal studios. |

One of my biggest influences in fine art is Salvadore Dali. I also like many modern cartoonists and science fiction artists from their works in graphic novels, animation, to live action features. I’ve dabbled in many hobbies over the years from astronomy, photography, making costumes, various other activities from hunting, fishing, playing the bass guitar, and an activity that I like to call “people watching” I will go somewhere and watch how folks act and interact with each other in public. Sometimes I can predict what comes next, “It’s funny”

I’ve spent time as a Volunteer Firefighter / EMT, I’ve worked in the Printing and Advertising industry, I enjoy “most” fantasy, and sci-fi stories especially anything with zombies or cheesy monsters, and the only sport I really enjoy is racing , especially NASCAR..
Above all and most important ... I have a very strong driving interest in the creation of concepts. Planning, organizing, and working in every part of the creative process or application, until the project’s final completion. |
