Biography
|
|
I've been drawing all of my life which is thirty three years and counting. I work in all media / rendering techniques such as, Paint and Digital Illustrations. I've always been more partial to pencils and pens. I love the effect of pencil colors and pen & ink. I think that both bring the best of my talents to light. I grew up in a small town in Louisiana called Tallulah. Where I spent countless hours locked away from the outside world with my radio, paper, comic books and pencils, building my own universe of interesting characters. My older brother is an artist and so was my dad, needless to say that my talent was inherited. In 1995/96 I got my first job as an artist working for an African American alternative newspaper called the New Times as an editorial cartoonist. I only worked at that newspaper for a short time but I got a taste of what it would be like working as a paid artist , I LOVED IT!
I have no training as an artist--so I guess I would be called a folk artist.

Statement
|
|
Drawing is the only thing that I can say is truly mine. It never needlessly irritates me or takes me for granted, so I spoil it as much as I possibly can. I continue to learn about art and I also recognize my limits, but that's okay because I can only get better.
