Quick Bio
I am shorthanded because this whole dog and pony show is just me. I hate the big ego’s artists often have and the elitism that come within art circles. Neither describe me. Refreshing and compelling illustration motivates me to continually work at my own craft. Hopefully both adjectives describe my artwork too. I’m a regular guy from Kansas, I love art and creating it.
