About me:
Hi, I'm an artist and musician working in a variety of formats. As a young teenager I started drawing comic book art, and developed an interest in photography as well as digital art in the early 90's. After going to high school in a small town in western Illinois, I attended college and studied graphic design, photography, and devoloped an obsession with music. After attending a local college in the Quad Cities, I transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where I continued studies in graphic arts (focusing on Photoshop) and added some multi-media classes: mainly sound design and mixing, with some experiments in computer animation that didn't go very far (as well as picking up some knowledge in video production and editing). After I graduated college, I focused mainly on doing electronic music, while working as a film scanner operator and doing some photo retouching at a major ad agency. After a layoff in the middle of 2003, I started working on abstract paintings on canvas with some graphical and drawing elements, as well as melding photography with some imaging techniques, creating psychedelic, sometimes surreal landscapes and spaces which I sometimes send to be printed on canvas (giclee). Recently, I have also been working on doing mixing and mastering for some bands, live recordings, production, etc. and some freelance design work. I have links to my artwork and music on my profile for view, or just peruse my myspace pics section. I sell digital prints on canvas on request, and am open for doing production on bands of all genres (focusing on rock/metal, electronic, and jazz). Ask me for samples or just say hi!
