ABOUT MY ART
...........................................
I suppose I began Drawing when I was quite young. I enjoyed it in grammar school, and in high school. I majored in both Illustration and Graphic Design at Montclair University, and minored in Art History. I taught grammar school art for 2 short years before I was swept away into the world of computer programming. I don't make much art anymore, to the disappointment of my girlfriend, and other friends. I have selected a few pieces to show you. Many of my original art is lost, or given away. I hope you enjoy what remains.


MEDIA:
...........................................

I experimented as a student in many mediums. I eventually (Somewhere in my undergraduate studies at Montclair University) decided I was very comfortable with oil based colored pencils. Once I began using them they just seemed a natural fit with my personality and drawing style.

COMPUTER CREATIONS
...........................................

These are mostly just photographs that have been altered or combined with other photographs using Adobe Photoshop. I am a novice in the area of Adobe Photoshop. I studied it at a local community college (SCCC) for a brief time. I Love to fool with it at home though.





FREQUENTLY USED EQUIPMENT
...........................................
Most of my more recent work is made with Berol Prismacolor Oil Based Colored Pencils. Prior to that I worked with Oil Pastels, guash, India Ink, Scratchboard, and a little airbrushing.

My Computer graphics (If they can even be classified as such) are done using mostly Adobe Photoshop, or Macromedia Fireworks on my home PC. My Current home PC is pitiful for such efforts. I use a hand built PC designed around a single Intel Pentium 233, using a mere 64 Megabytes of Kingston memory. The operating system runs off a Barracuda 10,000 RPS SCSSI Drive, while data is stored on a separate IDE drive. I also use a UMAXflatbed scanner which I'm quite happy about. Actually, my computer hardware may just be evenly matched with my computer graphic skills. :)
