My lifelong desire to work in the Arts has generated a strong creative force. My first drawings were of favorite cartoon characters and comic book hero's. Charles M. Schulz, Walt Disney, Chuck Jones, Johnny Hart, Russell Myers and Stan Lee were all ideal hero's in my world. Mort Drucker and Jack Davis, of Mad Magazine, inspired a more caricatured drawing.

After attending the American Academy of Art, in Chicago, I worked for a variety of different art related businesses and six years later, I made the change to freelance artist and illustrator. A few jobs started a part-time business and I pursued other art related work. Within a short period of time and persistent marketing, a client base developed and full-time work evolved.

Over thirty years of advertising illustrations, airbrush, book illustrations, cartooning, conceptual renderings, digital art, instructional drawings, line art for product ad slicks, licensed character product concepts and watercolor paintings has built a strong foundation of experience furthered by a start to finish confidence and a diligence toward deadlines.
