About

Hey and hello all, just wanting to share a little of what I have been working on and trying to push the daily limits of what I can create. It's been wild, just experimenting with a variety of styles and techniques and trying my best to be true to my art. Sometimes when you're just drawing and not thinking of an end result or anything beyond the paper in front of you. Then later on, ok, wow, overwhelmed by the amount of detail or inked lines you have to tackle in the hours of the evening.

Or just the simple creation of an idea, a concept, a clue of something that you wrote down or thought of and just making it bloom into something real. Tangible. I know just to be honest and throw myself onto what canvas I have before me and not allow anything to stop me besides the ground which I sit on until I exhaust every bit of myself to get what I desire. The paintings are mixed from different projects and places.

I will be sharing more of my art and thoughts as I get a hold of this new arena to share with others my creations and to just enjoy the process. I hope you find it interesting and enjoyable and feel free to contact me or post a comment, as you wish. cIAO and be merry. … Read More

Work

I've worked for over 20 years as a Illustrator, designer, cartoonist, artist, animator, conceptual creation, storyboard guy, graphic design, children's books, etc. for many companies. You get the idea? My work has varied from all my experiences as well, my personal projects that I constantly pursue whenever possible. Over the years of working full time and in the world of multimedia, I decided to walk away from that life and just create. Since then, freelancing and enjoying "the flow" as I call it. Traveling all over the world made my work discover new thoughts and ways of expressing what I wanted. I've been exhibited in a few galleries, art stores, restaurants, and an occasional fund raiser. Much of my work is created with no beginning or end, just to allow the work to breath and see where it might lead you. Some pieces are created from drawings or experiences that I have written down but most from just "the flow". A very hard thing to explain, sort of you just have to let go, walk into the ocean. … Read More
