"It's a GOD-given talent, but it's the demon's that drive you".

-Me

 

I was born on a cold December day in 1960. I started drawing at age two. I was never smart enough to stop.

 

I am an illustrator specializing in fantasy and horror art. Although I create art in a wide variety of styles, media, and genres, it depends on which personality is in control, I guess. I also do this with little or no adult supervision.

MAGAZINES INCLUDE EASY RIDERS, 2AM, CEMETERY DANCE, SPACE AND TIME, TORG, STAR WARS, WEST END GAMES, DARK HORIZONS, DARK REGIONS, ELDRITCH TALES,FANTASY BOOK, THIN ICE, GRUE, HAUNTS, LOCUS, NEW BLOOD, NOCTULPA, CROSSROADS, WEIRDBOOK, WHISPERS, WESTWIND, BIFROST, THRESHOLD OF FANTASY, S.P.W.A.O., PANTOPHOBIA, FRIGHT DEPOT, PORTENTS, FANTASY NEWSLETTER, THE HORROR SHOW, ARGOS, DOOM & DESPAIR, ETCHINGS AND ODYSSEYS, STARWIND, NEW BLOOD, FOOTSTEPS, DEATHREALM, HORIZON, INOZEM'YE, CERBERUS, HOLLAND SF, SURVIVAL, UNDER THE BED, AND MORE...
