I'm a professional graphics and print layout designer for a printing company in Texas. I'm very happily married, have 6 children and 3 grandkids. I love to paint murals on the walls, doors and ceilings of my country home.

I've been doing this kind of fantasy art ever since I was a kid. Some of my favorite artists are Frazetta, John Byrne, Kinkade, Frank Brunner, Art Adams, Jim Steranko, Todd McFarlane, George Perez, Vargas, Frank Miller, Barry Windsor-Smith, Christensen, and Vallejo ... and of course Bob, the PBS painter with the big afro.

Right now the main focus with my art is creating downloadable coloring posters and desktop wallpapers to sell off of my commercial site, www.onlinefantasyart.com. I also use the backgrounds I create as backgrounds for postcards, business cards and flyers for my print design site, http://www.design249.com

If any of the artists at ArtWanted wish to download my coloring posters, color it and then put it up on their Artwanted gallery, you have my permission for that use, as long as you give me proper credit for the drawing! I would be interested in seeing different color realizations of my black and white line work.

Generally, I draw something freehand using a mechanical .05mm pencil, ink it with pentel and sharpie pens and markers, scan it in and use Photoshop to color it. I make endless variations and combinations of my digital art.

All of my artwork is for sale - since most of it is digital, if purchased you will get various hi-res version of the file on CD, plus any and all original sketches, inks, etc. that went into creating the image, as well as a 8.5x11 gloss hi-res print. You will also own all rights to the image for use as advertising, merchandising, and be free to change or use the art in any way you see fit, without owing me any royalties.

I'm in the process of uploading it into the Design249 image database so they will be available in the online print design tool there.
