To my fans/visitors: I’m so sorry about the site being down for, what 2 or 3 weeks? Seemed like an eternity to me as it happened right after my computer hard drive died…I was not having a good month (in fact my email account is still not functioning properly). My webhost buddy Rich Lane was able to […]

I just missed the end of the day, January 4th, to post about it but I don’t want to diminish the significance of the occasion. Besides being my 45th birthday, today (yesterday) marks my 20th year as a professional ink artist in the comic book field. I was hired by editor Craig Anderson at Marvel […]

For those who have asked about my status or how I’m doing, thanks for your thoughtful consideration. My dad was diagnosed with lung cancer two months ago and there are lesions on his liver and throughout his brain. To say the least, the last two months have been unrelenting and overwhelming for me and my […]
