Artist, Photographer, Adventurer. Ten year Burning Man Artist and Creator of The Eyes of Gawd, Dolphin, Terrasphere, The 1247' Long Burning Dragon, The Whale (participating artist with Tom Kennedy And Dana Albany)... and several other wonderful collaborations with many creative minds.
In the real world I create logos, postcards, greeting cards, newspaper cartoons and whatever else inspires me. I always compare my work to something my mother used to say when she wanted me to make my bed.. "At least you're not digging ditches!"
I love the human form, most especially women. I believe there are SO many women out there that are truely beautiful but don't know it. No one has ever told them. At the same time, there are just as many women that THINK they're beautiful that are extremely ugly when their souls are revealed...
I'd like to walk around with cards that when opened just say simply.. "Just a note to let you know how incredibly beautiful you are" - Then, just hand em' out to women that truely deserve them, women that truely NEED them...
Of course I'd have to be careful to walk away immediately after handing them out in order to avoid them thinking I'm some kinda nut.
So, while my life has shifted into light speed, my brain is at it's highest creative level than it has ever been. If i can channel it and get the 25' tall concrete statue created for the City Of Colfax, I will have a true legacy to leave behind. If a beautiful stranger walked by and spoke my name... I would live on forever. You do realize that no one ever really dies until the very last person forgets that he ever existed.

(I have this ritual of "letter grading each of the cartoon strips. "I have seen a noticeable decline in the quality and HUMOR level of cartoons in the last 20 years. Where I used to give them A's and B's..... I rarely give an A every three or four months now. The cartoonists are just boring)"

| Favorite Movies, Stars & Directors: |

the war,
stand by me,
"any good cheezy romantic comedy"

| Favorite Music & Artists: |
All kinds depending on my mood. In the 80's I actually won a buttload of prizes and a little money entering Karaoke contests. My edge was that I knew that i REALLY couldn't sing that well,
but I could entertain. So i put together a comedy sketch to the music "Funky Cold Medina". It was damn funny and ended with a giant "salami" falling out of trench coat.Anyway,
I truly enjoy rock,
jazz,
original rap like "Rosa Parks" as opposed to stolen ideas and classics that are just re-written. My all time favorite singer is probably Freddy Mercury and his incredible Bohemian Rhapsody. A true work of incredible art.
