Hi Folks! I began my journey that led to the world of computer graphics and animation soon after I fell in love with the illustrations of several Marvel Comics artists during its Golden Age in the 1960's--Steve Ditko, Gene Colan, Johnny Romita, and of course the genius, Jack Kirby. As a music lover--I still collect vinyl--I was influenced by the album cover art of Roger Dean (Yes), Abdul Mati Klarwen (Miles Davis), Peter Max (The Beatles) and Bernie Casey (Marvin Gaye). Eric Martin, a former animator for Walt Disney Studios, was my animation instructor and advisor in college. He was a fantastic mentor and still a dear friend. Bill Reimann, my college drawing instructor, taught me the strategy of design. I can't single anyone out in the Forum; there's simply too many talented people. If you check out my web site or uploaded images you'll see adaptations of familiar objects, textures, and morphs created by many of you. Giants are among us--and my art is all the better for it.
