My Bio

I'm an aspiring writer and illustrator, heavily influenced by the 1940's through the 1990's. I pretty much work exclusively in the horror/science fiction genres with a lot of pinup artwork mixed in. I create my work utilizing a combination of graphite, digital paint, acrylics, airbrush and occasionally miniature photography (cars, planes, ships etc). I have no interest in NFTs or AI artwork, so please don't ask if you can use my work to further the goals of either. To each their own, but that stuff just doesn't have a beat I can dance to.

Finally finished ditching out social media platforms that just weren't working for me. Twitter, Instagram and now Facebook proper. I'll say this: after over a decade (a decade, for the love of god) of trying to grow the studio and get the work noticed I've never felt more discouraged or frustrated with social media in general than I do right now. Getting rid of those apps was cathartic if it was anything, but I can't help but feel that I wasted a huge chunk of my life working away on platforms that ultimately gave nothing of any value back. But, I suppose when it comes to social media apps we are the product they are selling to advertisers. So, I'm content to work far away from the social media vortex and focus my attention here from now on. Something tells me I should have been doing that from day one. Let the work begin. Also, I must confess: nachos, though brilliant in concept and tasty in the moment, are ultimately a bad idea. At least for me. And if you've messaged in the last
