For those of you who remember me in a past life, I used to make a lot of art and draw. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and drawing. For a while, I was motivated to go back to grad school to get my Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Painting and be a university professor.

My life has since moved in a very different path.

I absolutely love what I do now, and part of me feels like I am a better designer than artist. The biggest difference between an artist and designer is that an artist will create usually for the self and it is an expression of that. Designers, on the other hand, typically create for an audience or people…the users. I love designing for the users.

I still try to make time to draw a bit here and there. I did a little Valentine’s Day sketch of a Skrillex card. If you don’t know who he is, this probably isn’t funny at all.

Perhaps I should open a store on Etsy and continue to do doodles…if I have time.

I’ll make time.

Here is a new series of sketches inspired by Jennifer Hall. I present to you…RAWR Wars.

I always thought I was a Baroque man. Like they say in Beauty & the Beast, “if it’s Baroque, don’t fix it!” My heart belonged to Rome for multiple reasons. However, after being in Paris for an indefinite amount of time, I’m starting to fall in love with the city. The city of lights has given me the opportunity to look, but more importantly, re-look.

Post Impressionism was a movement I never really appreciated in the art history books. Today I went to look at some of Monet’s Water Lily paintings. Damn, those guys could paint. They indeed, captured the essence.

Thank you Paris for making me take the time to look at things and appreciate.
