Okay, so here goes: I do all kinds of strange art and design stuff and moonlight as a film maker in Austin, TX. I have a day job too so I try to find time for art and all the other stuff. If I was a single girl, this would all make for some excellent television. But I'm a guy, so no dice. I do art for my own amusement, but am not at all opposed to requests or commi$$ions. Feel free to poke around and leave comments, ask questions or whatever. If you want some quick snipits of information, I have some for you:
Base of Operations: Austin, TX
Schoolin': University of Texas at Austin, Bachelors of Science--Radio, Television & Film
Strengths: caricature, portraiture, logo & design replication
Weaknesses: backgrounds, eyeballs, 3-point perspective (basically the stuff that could land me regular work)
Influences: Patrick Nagel, H. R. Giger, Jim Lee, Clive Barker, Anton Furst, Tim Burton, Morissey... the list goes on
Favorite Writers: Carl Sagan, Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Alan Moore, Frank Herbert...
That's all I got for now. Check back for more. Have good one.
