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.
