# About me
Drawing since 7 years old. Won a 6th grade award for a cover design. Began to trace and copy things a lot. Had numerous wildlife magazines to be inspired by pictures and other artists. I've plastered art all over the walls in my bedroom in the teen years. My brother and I were model car and slot car enthusiasts back then. Late teens, my family were billiard players, complete with a dance floor, jukebox and indoor BBQ. Ping-pong, air hockey and the swimming pool were favorites too. Carnivals and basketball were good for shootin' for donuts with the neighbor kids. We had a donut shop too. Kickball.baseball...we did just about everything. We had paintings throughout the house...most were gifts given at Christmas. I painted a few cars and motorcycle tanks. My first job was working for a custom motorcycle seat shop. I also worked in print shops designing logos and paste-up. My Parents, brother and I were bakers back then. We made good money. I bought my brothers 67 Firebird car, and my friend helped customize it in his dad's body shop. I was pretty much self taught, a lot of time was spent developing and drawing in perspective, mostly realistic. I kept it pure. I wanted to be a cover designer, but also wanted to race motorcycles. Today I work on 8&1/2x 11" paper or card stock, most of the drawings on this site are recent color pencil work. I also do mostly t-shirt designs. Enjoy!Current Residence: Bullhead City, AZ, USA

Thanks for the reply...I'm encouraged. Almost finished with another drawing of a flatbed truck next to the Joshua tree. Planning to do a sidecar motorcycle in the desert, but might half to be larger...lots of dust and old cans flying. Take care.

This is a small Joshua tree, but still studying the tree. One Cloud is the title of the piece after noticing a small cloud that appears often.

Though I can't say I'm interested in the subject matter, your gallery is very good! all of the drawings are high quality and intricate, and I like your outlook on art, even if I may disagree with it. I like your portraits quite a bit though - "The Boys" is great!
I'd like to see what you have in the future.

I've been doing this since I was 7...am now 55. I am working on 8 1/2 x 11 format size now. Seems to be that this size works well for me. I can get a piece done in 3 days...don't want to spend too much time on one piece. This is my art...but I would rather sing.
