About me:

My artistic
experience began as a
child. I was a compulsive doodler
...no paper or surface could be left alone!
I love cartoons and humor! As a student I drew
caricatures and cartooned notes for my friends. I
attended Cooper School of Art in Cleveland, Ohio.
Once I started with the cartooning.... I never stopped !!
Since then I have drawn caricatures at corporate events,
schools, theaters, museums, country clubs, trade shows,
various fund raisers, promotional events, festivals & more.
I love creative stuff & work in a variety of mediums. I can
draw with both hands at the same time! I also perform
mime, do computer graphics, murals, calligraphy and
illustration. I enjoy writing and have published some
newspaper articles. I have created block cartoons,
books for kids & poetry that I intend to publish.
I believe being an artist is not just about
what you do....it's a reflection
of what you are!



I am available for sketching caricatures at special events, promotional events, trade shows, schools, fundraisers ,churches, bar and bat mitzvahs, parties, coporate events... I also create original custom art, just contact me and I'll answer any questions.

Yet another Elvis sighting

 

When I was a toddler Mom says I crayoned the length of a wall and as high up as my little arm would reach. Mom was quite the artist. She would do wonderful pencil sketch portraits and copy the illustrations from books. I figured that's one of the things ya learn as you grow up...like learning to read and telling time.

    A friend just told this quote to me and I really liked it so I thought that I would share it with you.
    "Change your thoughts, change your world."
    This is from a guy named Norman Vincent Peale and he is so right on the money with this. Such a powerful statement.
    Talk soon my friend.

    Hello! I just wanted to tell you about a friend of mine, Brian O'Neal. You can check him out at www.myspace.com/brianoneal. He's an awesome musician. Drop him a line.... He's a really nice guy, too.

    He has a new song out right now featuring Rod Tate that you can hear on his page called “Island Sun”.

    Hope you like him....

    I belief in
    artgeneering...the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient wayof using language...
    the way of light and color...
    without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...
    to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...
    natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...
    awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...
    to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
    times,
    that keep us away from our natural mission...
    to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of freedom and peace...
    we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,
    to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

    Hi Jan! How are things in your wonderful world of creativity? I have been indulging myself in more music and drawing and it feels great. I actually picked up my accordian (Thus the name Squeeze) again and am enjoying remembering everything I forgot how to play! I hope things are going well for you. Drop me a line!

    I have learned so much about leadership from John Maxwell. I thought that I would share one of the comments that he said that ment so much to me.
    "The first job of a leader is to lead yourself. If you wouldn't follow yourself, why should anyone else."
    I hope that it helps you in your life and in your business as it has helped me.
    Talk soon my friend.

    Hello, Jan. How's everything going? How has the recent economic crisis affected you personally? Anyways, I've noticed that you have several museum on your top friends list...does this mean that your artwork is distributed throughout several art venues in America? I would sure love to see your artwork in person!! Do you have any paintings on display here in New Mexico? Have a great week!
