I may over-critique my work, as I'm sure most artist do. I've produced images specifically for the enthusiast. My best pieces are artworks that I have enhanced at least twice. I always dreamed of becoming a full-time illustrator while working out of a stay-at-home studio. Time after time, my name comes up quite often in search of a particular detective wearing a deerstaker cap.
My friend and mentor was my father. He inspired confidence in me to pursue an occupation in art. I've found my own niche in a particular art style. My artwork is eye-catching. I draw and paint what inspires me. One of my early influences was Thomas P. Gill, an American comicbook artist, best known for his nearly 11-year run drawings of The Lone Ranger. I like to render comic book art from a colorful palette. I majored in Advertising as well as minored in Fine Art at the University of Memphis. I began my Career in Graphic Design and Screenprinting.
In 1978, I went into business for himself as a retail entreprenuer. My popularity began with creating an imagery of characters from a mystery genre. I wasn't afraid to be different. I don't lean toward trends. I'm an artist, who hung in there and made a gradual success.
I've worked at soliciting freelance submissions that have brought me several commissioned artworks from various enthusiasts. Some of my clients, which I have built a relationship with, include merchandisers and specific galleries.
Just browse my sample images. Commissions available upon request.

Artist for Hire: One picture is worth a thousand words. I have a great passion for comic book art as well as pop culture. As a tyke, I developed an affection for the visual arts, while watching my father work his brushes onto canvas. Of course, I should mention that the appeal of strikingly rendered graphic images in book fiction such as The Three Musketeers, Lone Ranger, Sherlock Holmes titles and many others had an immediate and pleasurable visual influence. I am an illustrator of some note, who is partial to opaque watercolor. I take time out reminscing about the characters of the past. There are many illustrations seen and the stories are briskly told that often add new insight to familiar tales.
