About Me

I've been making stuff since I was old enough to glue my fingers together. I took every art class in high school and studied art education in college. Finally, after 30 years, I quit my "job" jobs and focused exclusively on my work. the result...these characters.
Each piece is an attempt to make sense of the world through humor, or at the very least, make it a little more fun. My goal is to make viewers laugh and enjoy the absurdity of life. Thanks for supporting my coping mechanisms, and I sincerely am grateful if my work makes you smile.
