About Me
-Bold, exciting and fast-paced! My work represents the fashion and lifestyle of a large city. Which is odd considering I come from a town of roughly 500 people. However, I have always been fascinated with the allure of large cities, and the way people in metropolitan areas live, eat and dress. People aren’t afraid to be different in big cities. The way of life in a small town is just different, the career options are more limited, and therefore the arts are not necessarily a top priority. Given that I decided to pursue a career in art anyway, I received my bachelor of fine arts from Pittsburg State University in 2003. Unlike many artists, I like to mix up the mediums in which I work. I might work in colored pencil one day and computer graphics the next. The variety keeps me interested and excited. On this site you will find realistic work, abstract work, and some that is a little bit of both. As far as materials, I use pencil, colored pencil, oil pastel, acrylic, ink, sugar, spray paint, collage, and recently computer graphics.

    Regarding your color pencil work: I feel this is your strongest. So vibrant..they are so good! Can't comment on them all or else I will never this computer. You pencils are very powerful and you capture the city mood. I wanted to bite those doughnuts. I can hear the noises of the city when I look at your work..you captured it guy! great job!

    Your work is very impressive! I wonder if I should sharpen my pencils instead of using my mouse to convey what my mind envisions? I will check back to "study" your drawings soon.
