Summary

Ever since I was a boy, growing up in the small town of Warren, Pennsylvania I was fascinated by comic book art, Science Fiction art, Monsters, and Space Opera. Much of my time was spent doodling dragons and whimsical creatures. I could often be found frequenting book stores and browsing through the latest art books, which were a never ending source of inspiration. I made it a goal of mine to be a top notch artist and to be able to have the same creative skill that gave me so much enthusiasm to view. I began to study art, and went to State University of NY, where I received an excellent grounding in the subjects of Photography, and traditional painting. I received a Bachelor's Degree in Visual Arts 1982. Today I have my own business as a digital illustrator in Los Angeles. I have created the covers of over 50 books, illustrated posters, music albums, and have had my work published in high-end graphics magazines such as Advanced Photoshop, Imagine FX, and Photoshop Creative.
