My background is in the design/advertising field.  I started as an artist and gradually moved into the Creative Director for an Advertising Agency. During this growing period I self-taught myself the airbrush.  This quickly became my medium of choice because it is used in the advertising field; but also because I could create realistic art.  Eventually I mixed the airbrush and pen and ink to give my work a "mixed variety".

Of course, my advertising background is evident in some of my work.  Personally I really like the "Old People" series of pen and ink.  This art was created by stippling.  Stippling is created by simply touching the tip of a pen to the surface; creating a dot.  All the work in this series are dots.  the only solid lines are when the dots came together.

Please enjoy my art and thanks for viewing
