Artwork
Hours have past - maybe days, there are sketches scattered across the floor, magazine clippings and photos hang on the walls around me. On the table are tubes of paint, folded and twisted, tossed on a bed of dried paint drips.

Take the time-machine to 2003.
My first website and first portfolio. Over time some of the parts of this old machine have worn and broken but most of it is still working. This is the only place to see my old animations - mostly just school projects but still fun.

Drawings
Everything starts here.
Drawing can be an experiment between style and technique. It is a way to sharpen skills - a way to step straight into artistic flow.

Paintings
When it's all over - lay me down with a paintbrush in my hand.
I painted most of these pieces while in college. With a constant flow of inspiration and creative energy around me, I could have continued painting forever.

"And to think of all your teachers who would tell you not to draw in class. I wonder if Michael Angelo's mother was ever called because her son wanted to paint the ceilings? Ahhh. Genius! It is hard for the common man to understand. The ceiling was the limits for Michael Angelo, the sky is the limit for you!"
