I was born in 1953 in Claremore, Oklahoma. Same birthplace as Will
Rogers. I went to school in Oklahoma City. I was the guy that spent
class time doodling instead of taking notes, shaping my inevitable
college career choice into commercial art. In 1985 I came west to
California, making a number of friends sharing figure model costs
as we improved our life drawing. These friends all went on to success
as comic artists, animators, fine artists, actors. My own focus became
Video Game art with all that discipline involves. I've done animation,
concepts, storyboards, character design, level design, 3D modelling,...whew.
Very satisfying all in all. From 2005 on I plan to emphasize storytelling,
something I feel I've neglected during my career. My earliest ambition
was to be a comic book artist.
