Description this is the piece that started it all- that made me realize what i could do. It is 8 years old and hangs in my sons room- it also sits on my desk top and there is only 1 copy of it

It was with this piece that started me on the path to where i am at today and i am humbled by the fact that it was my children who inspired me, my god who gifted me with the ability, and a wife that supports and loves me- I am forever in all their dept.

It also helped me realize that even though i can earn a living at this - i must give something back and so i hope it inspires people to continue and not give up on their dreams- ever.

as you can tell i have alway loved tree houses

This is really nice. Whimsical and always something interesting to look at wherever the eye goes.

And for some reason, it reminds me of ToeJam & Earl on the Sega Genesis (most likely the island settings). Ahhh....good times!

I think you manage perfectly to inspire people, and make them want to go on !That's something I'd like to achieve too, making people dream, and hope, and I'll stop there because sometimes my English is not up to what I'm trying to say
Good luck with your work and all.

oh i have learned that words are unimportant with the world of art and pics- i think you do that as well with your work i hope you continue- as well - art is sort of a universal lanquage

Thorcus [2006-09-02 04:05:24 +0000 UTC]

cute - it has a lot of "babysim" - like for a children book. you made a big big develop in your art but i think sometimes you show your "child" in your pics - hard to explain for me - anyway...i like it and that what's count
