My Bio
Various Careers over the years but always doing my artwork at the same time - After 4 years in the United States Navy I then spent a few years at the Joe Kubert School in Dover NJ - 1989 - 1991 - I started working while still in school, initially coloring various trading cards and doing paste up and mechanicals. Some of the Companies I've wprked for over the years. I've worked for Aircel, Eternity, Malibu, Evolution, London Night, CFD - Cry for Dawn, Innovation, Continuity, Continuum, Dark Horse, Harris, Hasbro, Marvel. Lots of colorwork, some pencils Pin-ups inking as needed. The hardest part is I was married and then shortly out of school we had a lovely daughter - so in one aspect it limited my time to pound the pavement and I had to try to help provide. So the artwork became secondary to supporting family. - Almost 3/4 of my work was assisting other to help meet their dealines I was the oncall guy who could do almost anything but didnt have time to find or even take a full time project of his own. (those who know my artwork knows that the the amount of detail I put in meant I didnt have a fast page production rate!) Couple that withgetting shafted by a few lesser known publishers and magically years have passed - I would love to get back in the business - the kids are grown (almost) but the hunger and ability to do the work is unsated.

Wow...it is awesome to meet someone who has and/or still does comics the old-fashioned (traditional) way.
Thanks for the watch! Will watch you back too :D
Thanks for watching!
THE ARTSY FARTSY MAN DESERVES PROPS! You should join deviant art groups that are made to promote art and post your art there. :3 It's not gauranteed that you'll have a great following, but you'll get people's attention. :P
even though I initially created the account a while ago Im fairly new to posting and being active on my presence here. Im sure I'll get up to speed I dont think I have even been in any of the "group" sections yet.
