Art, trying to play my guitar, milkshakes & french fries, spanking, oh, and I have some weird fascination with the Tate/LaBianca Manson murders even though it was a few years before my time. Sloth, pretty much all of the seven deadly sins. I also enjoy gaining mass amounts of weight in a nine month period. Not really, that one's a lie.
I love music, I wish I was good at making it. A few of my favs, the Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson

for more info on my artwork, and where to see it!
Let's see… I think it's about that time.
A bit about me. My Dad started drag racing in 1970. I was born in June, 1973. From the time I can remember, my Dad was taking the family to the drag races. For those that remember it, Orange County Raceway was always my personal favorite. So I guess it's safe to say the bulk of my influences in art come from being raised around cars, pinstriping and pretty girls bearing "Miss" titles (Miss Winston, Miss Hurst Shifter). Thanks Dad!
I love old advertising, and am influenced by antiques, lingerie, toys, and good ol' rock & roll. I started reading and collecting MAD Magazine in the sixth grade. Love the wit and wisdom of Dr. Suess, Shel Silverstein, Jim Henson. I am astounded by Gil Elvgrin, Egon Schiele, Ed Roth, and whoever invented Spongebob Squarepants….. and beer.
I enjoy good friends, good times, good karaoke and watching those real life trauma shows on TLC. I dream in color. I weld. My favorite color is lime green. I'm dying to get a Pug dog and name him "SeaBiscuit".
I graduated with honors from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, Ca. I have a lot of fun making art. It's a pretty cool gig.
Clients have included the American Legacy, A & E Television, A & C Black Publishing, TEVA shoes, Ark 21 Records, the National Hot Rod Association, Field & Stream Magazine, New York Press, The Silicon Valley Metro, Vancouver Magazine, the Ireland Tribune, and Fahrenheit Magazine. My work has also been showcased in International Tattoo Art, Step Inside Design Magazine, Permission Magazine, Art Week, the Sci-Fi Western Catalog, PandaMeat, and CMYK, and has been shown in galleries throughout the country/world.
