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.

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.

 

 

Who I'd like to meet:

Jesus, Albert Einstein, Leonardo DiVinci, Auguste Renoir, Beatrix Potter, Dr. Seuss, Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla, Michaelangelo, Alphonse Mucha, MC Escher, Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, Dali, John Waterhouse, Walt Disney, Gary Larson, Jan Brett, Matt Groening, Superman, Nadia Comaneci, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley,the Beatles, George Lucas, Harrison Ford, Steven Spielberg,Steve Martin, Jim Carey, Drew Carey, Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Mike Myers, Carol Burnett, Oprah Winfrey, Jim Henson, Richard Bach, Scott Adams, W. Clement Stone, Wallace Wattles, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, Terry Fator, Paul Potts, ET, Stephen Hawking Fun creative people and some good agents!! Well intending extraterrestrials also welcome.

    Well actually Jan I am smiling and singing, and, of course, dancing. Yes, too long, no song. I am anxious. Susan's album comes out in a lil over 2 weeks. Wild Horses baby. I see, (I do keep my eyes on you) your focus lately in your illustrations. NICE. So how is my favorite doubly talented speedy lady? I still have not gotten that dance. A local friend said, "Ronnie, why are you not up on YOUTUBE?" He has a studio. He wants to do a music video and "put me up"

    U R correct Empress, We have not been in touch for awhile. My bad as much as anything. Forgive me. I was in a period for several weeks of "doing". Run - run - run. I am still "doing" but more at home. HOWEVER, a friend wants to take me into studio. "Ronnie, we must put you up on YOUTUBE with a music video." So, we shall see.

    Of course, you my talented one are prolific. I do pay attention to your creativity Jan. Oh, and I am anxious to receive my Susan Boyle CD soon. YUM.

    Thank you for being a friend. I look forward to getting to know you.

    I try to keep you informed of when authors are doing a blog tour or book signing. I usually tell you about them in my status unless it is a busy day then I will post a bulletin. And, as a bonus, I have at least one author visit each month (usually more) and I keep you up-to-date on new contests from Harlequin. You never know when something new will show up!
