About Me
None of these things define me, but are part of my experience in this life.
expertise in: Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, etc. as well as the traditional arts. I'm always learning!
past history includes: bartending, owning a nightclub, owning a silkscreen company, doing large scale interior murals, designing logos, t-shirts, websites, fine arts (oil painting and pastel)
other interests: art, music, landscape design, spirituality, mythology, Tolkien
misc: sadistic sense of humor, hate cell phones and lawyers (except mine, who's a sweetheart!), scorpio, belief in past lives.
roots: celtic mostly
On my TO DO list this year:
• mastering oil portraits
• adding mixed media/layers of meaning into my traditional artwork, similar to what I would do in Photoshop
• finish a large canvas series on rock n roll musicians for the Midlands Exhibit (see Memories in Music)
• add to my Lord of the Rings series
Note* I'm leaving off the personal stuff I mean, I don't need to lose weight, stop smoking or drinking, work out more...etc. - maybe I do need to stop slacking off and finding excuses to spend time on DeviantArt. Yeah, and write blogs more often, make some tutorials, maybe Tweet something worthwhile now and then (instead of not tweeting because I don't want to be accused of shameless self promotion-yes, I have Twitter issues)...donate more to charity. One last thing...yes, I need to design my MySpace page.
