I discovered my love of art at an early age—right around the time I realized that cartoons in Mad Magazine were far more educational than whatever adults thought I should be reading. Like many young boys, I was also mesmerized by the wildly unhinged cartoons lurking in the back pages of hot rod magazines, especially Ed Roth’s “Weirdos,” which convinced me that strange was not only acceptable, but admirable. Fast-forward several decades and I’m still chasing the same goal: making people laugh.
My wife and I live in rural Nova Scotia, Canada, in a charming old farmhouse we generously allow our two ornery cats to share with us. My studio is out back, which is ideal because I can crank the stereo to questionable levels without disturbing the household. This is crucial, as our orange cat Archie considers revenge a hobby. Louis, our other feline tenant, is slightly more forgiving.
When I’m not scratching one of our boys between the ears, I create digital artwork in Photoshop for publishing, communication, and advertising companies around the world. You can reach me by phone or email through my contact page. After a focused conversation about your goals (and my fee), I’ll generate a flood of ideas in words and sketches, followed by final artwork. I’m happy to tweak and refine things until it’s just right. No sighing or eye-rolling included.
I work well both solo and with teams, I meet my deadlines, and I rarely blame the cats. Please have a look around my website to see if my artwork feels like a good fit for your needs.
Thanks for stopping by.
