I have to admit that it all started around the age of ten. Drawing on notebooks, being sent to my room for bad behaviour (always keep pencils and paper under your bed). I remember drawing the rock group Kiss with my good friend Jim all over our notebooks. You would think I would enjoy art class but they always wanted us to create a pot or vase, forget that I wanted to draw! I wanted to become a cartoonist even though I didn’t know what one was and the thought of more school certainly turned me off of that. So I left school and started working in the transportation industry humping furniture (good job for guys as big as me) eventually owning trucks and spending life driving up and down the highways never to pick up a pencil again. However life has a way of pushing your passions back in front of you and after a divorce I dove back into my drawing very badly at first. Low and behold here we are as an illustrator in the arts years later. How the heck did I do that? Well luck played a big part, but determination, professionalism, hard work, support, and encouragement certainly were huge on the list. My wife Carmen has played a huge role in the development of our business. Today Carmen and I both work the business and are eager to help you with your requests.
