# About me

I am a New Orleans and Scottsdale based artist. I specialize in surrealist comics, portraiture, and various styles of painting - E.G.: authentic vintage advertising/pulp/and pinup painting style (30s-50s), classical 'painterly' oil painting in the tradition of John Singer Sargent et.al., darker essentially Expressionist painting like the works of Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon, attempts at pop art and modern art, as well as my own innovations. I also do photography and sculpture.

I studied painting and illustration at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. I've worked as a portrait painter since 1992 or so, while producing my own personal work in my free time - probably 20% painting and 80% sketchbook drawing. I've been working on developing my own theories for the mechanics of visual imagery, the creative process, as well as the best ways to accelerate learning in visual mediums. My main focus currently is writing and producing comics featuring my own characters, selling prints of my paintings, and casts of my sculptures.

You're obviously a great draftsman, you also have been developing a very nice stylistic range. I take it you work professionally in comics?
