My Bio
I'm a new artist. I've been drawing off and on for many years, but recently realized it's something I want to do for the rest of my life. I also figured I need to stop caring what others think (at least the negative stuff) and do what Ray wants to do.

We are artists, and we revel in the feeling that we're doing things many say they cannot. (They can, they just don't know it.) Often we find ourselves pushing the envelope of vision and imagination.
