# About me
I am a self taught illustrator who specializes in fantasy artwork. I enjoy painting and ink work. I have recently begun using color pencil with inks.I am also a collector of body art and I design tattoo patterns as well.
I believe that everything in life is inspiration for creativity. That every experience and every living thing we encounter in one way, shape or form feeds are creativity and allows for artist impression.
As a young child recall watching my father, who worked very hard his whole life, taking whatever job that he could, creating beautiful portraits of famous actors and actresses on unfolded brown paper bags, using a regular no 2 pencil. I recall thinking he was amazing, the art was amazing. My father is my inspiration to always evolve as an artist, never stop growing and learning. There is no excuse great enough to give up my art. My father never did.
Of course because I am a fantasy illustrator my idols are mostly recognizable; Boris Vallejo, Chris Achilles, etc. But I am also influenced by the artwork of Barry Winsor-Smith and Joe Kubert. And let me not forget to mention the masters; Michaelangelo, Rodin, Okeeffe and many other artists from different fields.
If there is one thing that I want the world to remember me for it is that I am an artist driven by something greater.

Thanks for favoriting my piece. My work is more cohesive when you can see a lot of it all at once. You chose one of my standout pieces. I like your work alot and can't wait to see more. I hope you post new stuff more often than I do.

Very detailed. The heiroglyphs give it quite a mysterious feel.

You're welcom. I am finding this site to be one of great interest to me. I love the fact that this happens to be a site where there are some actual artist doing actual work/pieces. Some of the other sites I have visited are not always this way. Anyhow, I love your work and I hope you stop by and take a look at my piece. I plan of getting more of my pieces up but for right now I only have the one-
