Statement:

I draw what comes from my heart and emotions. I draw what I like and what makes me happy.  I don't care to draw what would be considered reconizable subjects, just shapes and shades mixing 2D and 3D  in the same picture and creating a mood on the paper.  I like that you can look at my art for six months and flip it over and it looks completely different  and yet perfect upside down or on its side.  How I would describe my art? I think it is a artistic expression of my emotional and mental state. I draw what I feel,  very little is planned and my hand has full reign over the paper.

Background:

I started drawing fire and hotrod flames when I was 13  and have created my own type of art since then   I dont see any work such as my own anywhere.  I have no real formal training  but have created my own kind of art over 33 years of drawing  I consider myself to be a parasitic artist, because I need people around me to be the most creative and I go to coffee shops to draw for that reason I feed off the emotions and personalities of the people I meet and their interest in what I am drawing.  I am into photography  also and some of my work is in that section  I have been a tattoo artist for almost 20 years but I am kinda retired but people are asking me to start up again. We Shall See!

Upcoming Events:

I am creating a coloring posters of my work so anyone can color my art to their own tastes and experience the work that goes into the art  I create .    The coloring posters will be 9 x 11 and 11 x 14 in size printed on heavy paper  suitable for pencil, ink and etc.  suitable for framing when finished I have completed 10  11x 14 prints and 20 to sell them full time  + prints of the 9 x 11
