I just noticed I didn't put anything in here. I thought I did. I was born and raised in central Ohio. I can always remember drawing things. I remember drawing cars all through grade school and into high school. I also remember always building models. I would build them with my dad when I was young, and hobby had taken off from there. I majored in industrial design at my local art college all the way till I graduated. The funny thing how I never combined all of this until a couple of years ago. I started out doing drafting on the side for local companies, but it wasn't till I was working for an architect that the pieces started falling together. I get some jobs from a couple of local rod shops, some repeat customers and the occasional magazine article. I would like to get more jobs, but the family time s already crazy now as it is. I really enjoy the entire process from putting ideas down on paper, working them out realistically all the way to the final product. I would love to become a professional and do this full time, but that is a long road from here.
My work is done by hand, scanned into PS where I touch/clean it up and add things and finish it off. I use marker, pastels, colored pencils and ink by hand and only use a very limited amount of tools on PS. I remember looking at work done by people like Steve Stanford and Charlie Smith while growing up (and even Cartoons) and just being amazed at their work.
While I do not have a project at the current time, I look forward to the time I can get another one and have the people I have met through all of this do the work. I have had a couple of Chargers, but would like something smaller next time. I hope you enjoy my style and I look forward to hanging out here again.
