  Overview

• Bio

  art director-designer/2d + 3d gigs/photographer - worked in video post production and CD-Rom titles in N. California, Atlanta, Dallas [entertainment, medical visualization, live-action blue screen integration on various productions]. Got tired of the commercial art career so I took the leap into graduate school in NY for my MFA to get back to my roots in fine art.

• Interests and Activities

  i dig almost all music & most of my inspiration emanates from there.. mainly groove to indie/alternative, jazz, electronica, blues, post-rock, punk, ambient.. can't go tooo long without dark beer, tea, wine, good vodka or cheese.. miss New Orleans since i'm freezin' up here in graduate school ala FRIGID New York. also enjoy composing images inspired by night sky stargazing, moon gazing & random moments in nature, along w/ inspiration from cinematography, loosing myself in my one true-pop-culture-addiction: football; also delve into philosophical,, primal & Sacred themes, while my ch3mical romance helps energize me to create art to wake folks up to ecology & the idiotic-walk of our hierarchy-malarkey^_--
