Some of you have come here for a long time.  You have seen my art evolve.  First from black and white, and then into colour as I explored digital media.  You only know me through my art.  You only see what I show you of myself.  I've had a rough last two years.   I lost a real part of myself.  I was pretty much torn apart, and I had to reassemble myself.  It was a very rough time.  Through it all I had my art though.  The power of art is incredible.  It was truly my lifesaver, and let me cling to a small bit of sanity. 

I need you to listen real close now.  I know a lot of us hurt.  I know sometimes you can't take the pain.  You want to give up.  Don't.  Just don't.  Use your art.  Whatever your art may be, it can help you.  You don't need to know how to draw.  Paint me a picture with your beautiful words.  Use your voice and sing me a song.  There is something in you that can help.  Find it.

If you find my art interesting at all, you may enjoy storygrinder.com/
It's a website devoted to a story that inspired a lot of the art here, and a project I've been working in collaboration with a lot of other people for a very long time.

Speechless I've read all the story's behind the pictures. Your art is great, and you writing-talent even greater. I would like to read the whole story of the Bear and all those others. Keep up the great work!

This is the most wonderful gallery I have ever had the good fortune to come upon. This is the only gallery I've seen where not only are all the pictures fantastic, but the descriptions are just as good. You've captured the beautiful concepts of "less is more," and "show, don't tell." Congratulations!

I want to thank you for the words of your bio. I’ve only had a chance to glance at a few of your pieces (and your fanart -- Ninja turtles rock2), but it’s plain to see that you know what you’re doing as an artist, and I intend to return when time permits.

Back to the bio -- I guess those are words I needed to hear right now, because they’ve struck an iron cord in me. I was raised to believe that Man was made in the image of God, and it is my personal belief that what makes us most like Him is our ability to Create. That is why art, to me, has always been a sort of sacred thing, even when it’s just fun or silly.

Thank you for not giving up. And thank you for encouraging others to do likewise.
