About the Artist - I take most of my inspiration from the things people believe, create and consume. As a Pop artist I like twisting science fiction and pop culture images into cool modern art. For over 20 years I have created digital art however, pretty much everything I do starts out as a pen & Ink sketch using the old speedball dipping pens. I scan the drawing and use it as a guide to work over on the computer using a pen and graphics tablet to color the image. I custom print and frame most of my work.
