WHO I AM
Animator - illustrator - Character Designer. Professional since 1992. Educated at The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. When growing up in a dusty little West Texas city you tend to find wonder in simple things like a green grass, flowers, a river or mountains. This may explain why I never outgrew the need to have pictures in my books. I loved picture books as a kid and at age ten I discovered comic books at a truck stop during one of our family vacations. The pull was so strong that I never spent allowance money on candy again, It all went to comic books. I started tracing then copying pictures from comics and got such a positive response that I wanted to learn to draw for real.I spent an inordinate amount of time in the libraries pouring through books about cartoonists and illustrators from the 1900's- modern times. So my influences vary dramatically from Winsor McCay, Cliff Sterrett, and Otto Messmer, EC Segar to N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell and Dean Cornwell, to Will Eisner, Alex Raymond, and Frank Frazzeta. Not to metion all the modern Comic book artist that had an influence on me. I tend to live in the shadow of all these greats so it keeps me humble and on an never ending quest to be happy with my own work.
