About me:

Born and raised in Chicago. Lived in Phoenix. Currently residing in Florida. I work as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. For the past 20 years, I've worked in the comic book industry as a digital colorist and painter. I currently work for Marvel and DC comics. After discovering punk rock during the early 80's, I designed album covers, t-shirts and flyers for various punk bands in Chicago. This led to work as a silkscreen concert poster artist for bands and venues all over the USA throughout the 90's. Check out my poster work in the best selling book, the Art of Modern Rock. I used to be known as "Trucker" in the poster world, or if you knew me and worked at the Metro in Chicago during the late 80's and mid 90's.

I was also a custom cabinet maker for about 6 years, so if you've stayed at any of the high roller suites at Donald Trump's Taj Mahal, you've seen my handy work.

For the past 6 years, I've been exhibiting my fine art and faux bomber panels in numerous galleries and group shows all across the US.

Hey dude. All is well here. We sold half the pieces at the La Luz show before it ended so that was good.

I am already so upset that they kicked Nikki off!! She was our new Daisy, but even trashier and on prescription medication. Sigh... Anyway, it looks like we have some good times ahead of us, my friend. Woo hoo!
