Art is what I do, and what I love. I have been an artist for as long as I can remember. I believe we all start out as artists, and I have no doubt that at some point, each of us has picked up a pencil or marker to connect with our creative side. I just decided to stick with it and have stayed committed to developing my style which consists of a wide range of realism, abstract and a little bit of both. In short, I paint what I like and choose colors that move me. My subject matter is also wide ranging, consisting of concept, whimsical, wildlife, fantasy and science fiction. I work with acrylic, oils, digital and follow a simple rule: I make my traditional paintings look like digital photos and my digital work like traditional paintings. I believe art is more than just a piece of paper or canvas; it is an extension of the artist himself. For me, my goal is to produce art worthy of being displayed in people's homes, featured on magazine covers, a catalyst to inspire our youth, and to leave a legacy for my family. Time escapes us all, thus, I choose to spend my time being a loving husband, chasing my dreams and developing my craft.

A little disappointed...

Journal Entry: Wed Mar 20, 2013, 2:48 PM
I'll be honest, I am a little disappointed I didn't make the 25 semi-finalists, I really thought I had a chance with my entry. I'm a little confused on some of the entries as well, I thought we weren't supposed to use other artwork/renderings in the creation and wasn't there something in there about entries couldn't use stock photos? Ahh well, congrats on the last 25 semi finalists and good luck to them.

I'll showcase my work here, at least it'll make me feel a little better...sort of. :)  Ugh...kick me in the groin now please.



I don't think I'll be entering anymore TR contests anytime soon, working hard on something to only fall short doesn't do much for my confidence. :) Ahh well, pick myself up and push forward.

Hi, I'm a relatively new member here on deviantart and I'm not certain about how this works. I just wanted to say I was very impressed with your artwork and was wondering if I could ask you for a commission on a piece of Mass Effect artwork dealing with the Keepers on the Citadel. I feel that they were something of a mystery that was never properly addressed through the series. If it is something that interests you, I do have several ideas and details about how it may look.

I've been looking through your Mass effect related work and I'm impressed. It's quality work, beyond doubt.
My impression of your skills as an artist is that you can really do this proposition justice.

See, there's this great Mass Effect-multiplayer based fic on fanfiction that deserves a lot more tribute than it gets at the moment. I mean, it's really good.
All I'm asking is that you read it and draw any/your favourite character from that fic, should you enjoy reading it(though I'd be absolutely thrilled if you drew Malcolm Thorne from it).

It's not my fic, but I'm sort of campaigning for it on my own. Here's a link;

Unfortunately I can't pay you for this. However, I ask on behalf of both myself and the considerable amount of fans who enjoy this fiction that you do this out of the kindness of your heart and appreciation for the written and drawn arts. I know for sure that I and many others would be infinitely grateful.

If you do decide to do this, run it by the author, iBayne, first. He'll set you up with more detailed character descriptions.

Thank you for your time!
