About Me

I was very much interested in art as a youngster, however, I lost that interest after getting employed full time to earn a living at the age of 17 and for approximately the next 24 years, art was not part of my life. In August of 2006, my interest in art resurrected from the 20+ year hibernation after stumbling onto ConceptArt.org and WetCanvas.com while surfing the net. Since then I have been steadily teaching myself various mediums and techniques, things I failed to learn during my teen years.
