# About me

I am a self-taught artist who has been fooling around with anything that will leave a mark on paper for as long as I can remember. And art is much more than just a hobby to me & stronger than an addiction (I should know thanks to nicotine and caffeine). I'm just not fortunate enough to get paid for my art.

For the most part, I primarily deal in black and white. Ink pens mostly. Every once in a while I dabble in color though. In this digital day and age, I enjoy Traditional art over digital work. Not to say it isn't an enjoyable medium with extremely talented artist, I'm just old school. Guess that may make me some-what of an elitist.

Constant growth and giving everything I've got every single time, are my main goals when it comes to creating. I take a certain amount of pride using tools that anyone could purchase at any department or grocery store. That way the viewer can rest assured that no fancy or expensive tools, trickery, or smoke and mirrors were used during my creation process. It's all the human mind and hand.
