ABOUT ME

I'm an artist. I have been for, well

always. Professionally, I have been an illustrator, a graphic designer, a textile designer, an equipment designer/developer, a retail packaging specialist, an art

director and a bunch of other

posts between those pillars.
I think I am a good artist, but I think I am a DAMN good designer. It has been design of consumer products that has captured my focus for about 25 years. I have designed and developed over 1000 products which have sold under many, many brand labels to markets in the US, Japan and Europe. You can see some of this work in the portfolio site:

MY PICK
OF THE MONTH

Here's my favorite painting this month.
This is the first piece, executed in a new 'style' that I have been thinking about for a while.
I call this, 'selfyism' for it's heavy shadows and sharp value contrasts. ...look for a 4-part-series coming soon!

(Oh! this is Mickey Mantle, btw!)
