About

I am from Austell, Ga.  I married my high school sweetheart and have three children.  I studied Architecture and Engineering at Southern Poly Tech and Georgia Tech.  I then studied Human Services and Psychology at Mercer.  I changed direction and decided to pursue business.  Throughout fifteen plus years of business consultation, management, and ownership, I never stopped drawing.  My influences are comic books, photography, structures, automobiles, motorcycles, textures, and all human interaction.  

Method

I start with an image.  I decide what is necessary.  In my mind, I delete everything that is not.  I sketch and sometimes trace defining parts of an image.  I use many of the tools from my experience in Engineering and Architecture.  This is considered unconventional, but lends to a unique technique.  I put ink on the paper to solidify what needs to bee seen.  I use graphite to give shade or depth.  With back and front lighting, I am able to cover the ink with graphite where needed.  The paper I use is heavy and affords me the opportunity to press in certain places for emphasis and added texture.
