# About me
Hello there.Okay, let me sum up the important parts...
I studied Fine Art at the University of Alberta. Got my BFA and moved to Vancouver, British Columbia. Went to film school at VFS and didn't like it. In 2003 I started up a unique mixture of a comic book and pop culture store with a fine art gallery called Elfsar Collection (aka Elfsar Comics & Toys). The retail store operated in the heart of Downtown Vancouver for 7 years and I closed it down in May 2010.
Elfsar was nominated for the Annual Harry Kremer award for Most Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Retailer for 2007, 2008, 2009 & 2010. In 2010, Elfsar Comics & Toys received a nomination for the Will Eisner "Spirit of Comics" retailer award.
I now have the new found freedom to focus more on my artwork and accept jobs that I otherwise had to turn down.
Truth is, I have never really shared my work online before and so this is a new venture for me. I hope you enjoy :)

Hey no worries and no rush at all. $$$$ comes first man. I just had not been to your page in a while and thought I would check it out. I just added you to my watch list as I must have forgotten to do so originally. I too have been busy. I will be posting some more stuff on Deviantart soon

cool cool, brother i appreciate it i really do.. i looking forward to seeing it bro.
kinda funny i always check my email for obvious reasons and DA cause alot of the contacts i have on da but also for alot of inspiration from other artist not thinking that i was the same to others, funny just how small our little circle is and how fast things change if you put the time and effort in, though i will be first to admit i am FAAAAR from great artists like yourself but getting there..
haha and to think i used to wonder how can someone (artist wise) be sooo buzy they can't post or comment here on da haha....eyes wide open NOW!!!

Yeah life gets in the way sometimes too. The time it takes to post stuff up on multiple sites is time taken away from working on the next project...lol. Appreciate the compliment as always.

I have recently cloned what I posted here on Behance ---> [link]
I have heard good things about Google+ as well so I might give that a shot when I have time.
There are a lot of lists online with more places as well.
