About me:
I am a professional artist interested in meeting other creative artists and models who can network together to offer each other ways to advance in their goals and careers. And if nothing else, at least have some fun getting to know one another.

Born and raised in San Jose, California, I learned at an early age that drawing was a great way to 'escape' the world around you. Later in my late teens I discovered it could bring in extra cash, too! Cool!

My style in drawing has changed through the years, as a result of always trying to improve from the last attempt. Much like life in general, if you don't learn from your mistakes you can't move on and do better.

Currently I have several drawings on display in art galleries throughout the USA. One drawing in New York City, four drawings at an art gallery just north of San Francisco, and a few closer to home in Bakersfield, California.

My drawings have sold through the last several decades and can be found throughout much of The United States, England, The Netherlands, Australia, Russia, and others. Much as a result of my website but more so though word-of-mouth.

Check out my work at http://www.paper2pencil.com where you can see samples of my work that isn't posted here. Sorry, MySpace limited some of my work ...... go figure! :)

As a result of several artists this past year or so asking how do I draw so realistically and get the results to do, I am completed a book, showing the stages it takes to get a drawing done (without looking like a "How-To" book) and currently have two publishers reviewing the manuscript. Several of the models I have worked with in the past, as well as a few new ones have allowed me to create special drawings for this book and in exchange they were given/offered the original drawing of them.

ALSO NEW, is the opportunity for you to purchase prints of several of my drawings! Check the listing out by clicking the three images below. If you dont see a drawing listed that you are interested in let me know and if I have the rights to sell it I'll post it there.

Who I'd like to meet:
I would like to meet other artists, gallery owners, models to work with and people at a creative level. Networking is the key in the art world. You are nothing if you don't know the right doors to break down! As for those in the Who's Who of the World? Let's just say, if you are linked on my MySpace, I wouldn't mind meeting you, if we haven't already. And if we have meet and you're still here.... feel lucky! LOL

LOL!..you're right, those were my roots of humble beginnings,...but should I?

The issue thought process with me is that I don't want to follow what
I've already done in the past or repeat what has already been done.
I always want to reinvent myself and don't look back...
It's great to see other artists like yourself to continue to love art.
I do have the passion to continue classical traditional oil paintings
with female subjects. It's the only form art that rings true to me...

thank you for the comment my friend

bless,
-D
