My Bio
"Old School art and proud of it!"
I'm primarily a comics artist, but also do cartooning, illustration, storyboards and have done 3D computer graphics and animation.

Currently the artist on the weekly Edgar Rice Burroughs' THE WAR CHIEF comic strip and have completed a Tarzan adventure which appears in the JUNGLE TALES of TARZAN graphic novel from Dark Horse Comics.
Current Residence: Canada
