Hello.


I just discovered your art of a "Harlequin Harley Quinn" portrait & was already amazed at its unique design & hints of healthy glamor beauty. I decided to explore your account more &... I was floored.


Your art is epitome of 80s90sEarly00s comic book power, hand-drawn beauties with healthy firm physiques & glowing luminous tonework, also the fact you draw Image started characters (WitchBlade, Lady Death, Aspen-like heroines et al) alongside the Marvel/DC norms already gives dominion to powerful females & heroes with endless potential. Add here your long experience & work in tattoo fields, Classical fine art train and firm inkwork, your art-style just emits confidence and concrete firmness that goes beyond trend & stands strong even in this short-attention-span era of memes & cue-triggers. This is important as it maintains both Traditional spirit AND hand-made aspects of humanity adamant, as such always has more substance and soul which automation or easy image content will Never realize, art made by someone who loves and cares.


Keep up the Awesome work and show Please to upstarts or easy thinking visualists what Real Creativity is all about.

thank you for your incredibly thoughtful comment. I truly appreciate your words and I absolutely will continue to shake up the art world!

May I ask about the "Coil of Barbed Wire" ( Sorry I grew up on a cattle ranch in Oklahoma and It's what I see. Too much time as a young one fixing fences I guess.) Signature?

do you mean my dragon logo i use for my company logo and general art signature?

Sure, what's your question?

Yes the Dragon logo ... I just wondered what inspired it.
