About the Artist - I take most of my inspiration from the things people believe, create and consume. As a Pop artist I like twisting science fiction and pop culture images into cool modern art. For over 20 years I have created digital art however, pretty much everything I do starts out as a pen & Ink sketch using the old speedball dipping pens. I scan the drawing and use it as a guide to work over on the computer using a pen and graphics tablet to color the image. I custom print and frame most of my work.

Besides creating graphic art, I design web sites and produce multimedia presentations for special events. My creative skills are computer graphic design, 3D computer modeling, animation, drawing, painting, logo design, and web design. I produce custom media for large corporate events, new product introduction, sales meetings, and conventions. Over the years, I've created commercial art and multimedia presentations for many of America's top corporations and associations.
