i am a little uncomfortable writing a bio for myself being that i have never written a book and i’m still alive. and if anyone does anything more than scan through this casually they may realize i am by no means traditionally trained in any classic art form. and that may be weird…for them. no, it’s true, i have no art school training.

now that all the hardcore art critics and pompous fine artists who think i’m tainting this pool of talent are gone i will tell you what i know. i’ve always been artistic, but without the opportunity ($$) for such a luxury as art school. i’ve been a piano mover, landscaper (aka “yard monkey”-that’s what my boss called us), assembly line tech, medical research assistant, 1/3 fireman, designer. the last one is where i fortunately landed. most of my art therefore takes shape on the computer screen, making 4traits a great outlet to excercise more traditional methods. i can tell you i most enjoy being either the 1st or last artist on a “4trait”. also, i try to get a game of Mario Kart in at least once a day.
