My Bio

Been with my wife for nearly 25 years and married for 20 years. I have two beautiful children. And I feel OLD. LOL.

I have always been a fanboy of comics and movies, TV and of course music.

Been a Horror movie nut for all my life and grew up on the Universal Monster's Lugosi's Dracula, Karloff as Frankenstein's Monster, Chaney's Wolfman etc. Eventually I fell into the Hammer classics such as Peter Cushing as Van Helsing or Victor Frankenstein and Chris Lee as Dracula, etc. So you will see many Homages by me here.

EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR SALE!!!! If you care to inquire about a piece please message me.

I DO REQUESTS AND COMMISSIONS AS WELL ... Please message me about details. I am very easy to deal with.

New Year Art Focus Conundrum

0 min read

So last year I really lost my art interest.  I simply got burnt out. The only thing I maintained was the #DailySketchChallenge (https://www.deviantart.com/dailysketchchallenge).    Which I am sure is not what the majority of people who follow me want to see and I post them almost daily.  On the other hand this is something that has improved my abilities a ton.  Not sure what everyone follows me for.  Some are my pin-ups others my Toned paperwork.  Part of me wants to delve back into painting.  The end result should be more meaningful art.  HMMMM.  What should I do.

#DailySketchChallenge (https://www.deviantart.com/dailysketchchallenge) a great group that gets you motivated to draw daily.  I am a huge comic geek which helps but everyday they pick a topic and you can draw it.  Copy the references provided or create your own drawing.  The goal is generally a half an hour to loosen you up to get into your personal projects.  I sketch fast so the half hour is generally close for me BUT Take as long as you like.  I know these aren't the best of my work, on the other hand the are fun to do. I always wonder why people watch me and always think it is cool that they do.  But I jump into lots of different things so I hope not to disappoint and appologize fo
