Ever since I have been able to pick up a pencil and put it to paper I have been an artist. I realized quickly that it took alot of hard work and dedication. Over the years I have worked in several mediums from colored pencils and acrylic paints to clay and creature effects. I am a recent graduate of Tom Savini's School of Special Makeup Effects. I hade the greatest privelage to have studied under one of the best fantasy artists of our day, Dorian Cleavenger. Dorian and other instructors such as Jerry Gergley have been a real inspiration to my work. If you have any questions or inquiries please contact me through the given e-mail address and I will instruct you further. Please do not send attachments to this address.
