Where to begin? At the beginning? How about soon after? After I was born (in Paintsville, Kentucky), my interest in art began at age 3, utilizing those timeless (well, since 1885) art pigments called crayons, and I continued drawing and painting on everything I could get my hands on, from notebook paper margins, to notebook covers, to paper and canvas, throughout my school years.
After earning a Bachelor's Degree in Art from Morehead State University, I went on to win many awards for my art, illustration and graphic design work. I have worn the hats of an art director, newspaper graphics editor, infographics artist,
page designer, website designer, illustrator, painter you name it!
Most recently, I was selected to become a member of the Watercolor and Graphic Arts Society (W.G.A.S., Mobile, AL), the oldest such organization in the state of Alabama.
I also have hands-on experience with all aspects of print and web design. I even hand-coded the XHTML and CSS standard markup for this website! Some would say I am a glutton for punishment! I enjoy it, though! From advertising agencies, from pencil sketch concepts to QuarkXpress layouts, all the way up to final press checks, Photoshop retouching. . . the list goes on. Just ask me about it!
My wife Faye and I presently reside in Mobile, Alabama,
after living in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I welcome inquiries regarding fine art commissions, illustration or infographic assignments. Please email or call me at (251) 662-1804. I look forward to hearing from you!
