Some interesting tid bits...
I'm am finishing up a children's book collaboration that should be published in 2009. It's taken quite a while, since I also work full time. But I think once complete (the coloring now) it will be very nice.
Also, Monk's wine lounge is interested in showing my art in February of 2009. Very soon! So I will have to get some arts together, and will post exact dates as they come up!


"Art flourishes where there is a sense of adventure, a sense of nothing having been done before, of complete freedom to experiment; but when caution comes in you get repetition, and repetition is the death of art."
