I was born in St. Joe Missouri, moved to Indiana, where I grew up---fast-forward----I'm married to a beautiful women(9yrs.) and have 3 AMAZING children(2 girls-1boy). I love God. He's my all, and I desire to know Him more and more--to get so close I can't stand it. He's brought me out of some serious crap, and I am eternally grateful. I love music(all kinds) and I'm a video gamer(sports mostly), and lastly, I LOVE FOOTBALL!!!! WOOOOOO! THE NFL RULZ!!!

Education: Graduated from R. Nelson Snider High School in Fort Wayne, IN, then went to St. Francis College of Art and design for a semester, upon leaving due to personal reasons. Furthered my education with various hands-on freelance work. I seem to learn better that way, rather than in a class room setting. Software Knowledge: Adobe Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, and Adobe Golive Influences: Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Brent Anderson, Travis Charest, Adam Huges, Brett Booth, Rob Lefeild, The Late and Legendary Michael Tuner, and David Finch. Well, short of a DNA sample, this is about it.

I was published in 2006 through Dabel Brothers Publishing/Marvel Comics for a mini-series called "Ptolus"-pronounced 'Tolus' - a fantasy of a woman trying to free her long time friend from the the clutches of "Death" himself, while discovering the mastermind behind supernatural events that have taken place in recent years. Pretty cool read. Check it out in trade paper pack @ Amazon.com

Currently, and most exciting, I am working on a title being released through Avatar Press, which is gonna ROCK YER SOCKS! So stay tuned!

Finally, I'll leave you with a few sites of fellow Artists, Pros and forums that have been influential to me in this artistic journey.

Be blessed

Hey Stu. Nope. use the same pencil. what helped me was when someone said the line weight needs to vary depending one light source, as well as depth. So, for ezample, if a had was comming at the viewer, not extremem perspective, but fore-shortening, the lines would be heavier. And if the liught was coming from above(or anywhere for that matter) the shadowed side would have thicker, as opposed to the light source side, in which the lines would thiner. I hope this helps.

be blessed and keep doing yer awesome work!
