More about me :)
When I was a kid I lived in Kenya and while there (probably because my dad was in his office at the typewriter everyday and because there was no TV in the house!) I wrote 2 novels, one about orphan children escaping from their orphanage and going on a fantastic adventure!
In 1973 I move back to L.A, became obsessed with television- shows like the CBS Children's Film Festival on Saturdays.
In Jr. High I started playing music (alto saxophone.) I also started playing dungeons and dragons and spending my summers at the beach. In high school I started a punk rock band called Entropy and when I was 25, after a personal loss, started painting.
In 2000, after attending a small very cool art school in Santa Monica called SMCDAA (part of Santa Monica Community College) where I actually sold my first art!, I took my work to the boardwalk on Venice Beach, a move most of my art teachers though was a bad idea! (Ask me who didn't.) That weekend I sold 3 paintings and I was hooked. I made a goal to sell 100 paintings before getting "serious" about the art world and on April 22 2004, I sold my 100th artwork. By then I'd realized I would never have a career in the L.A. art scene. But instead I had 4 years of amazing adventures, started donating art to The Venice Artwalk and having private shows- sun damage really made me need to get off the beach.
Between 2004-2012 I showed art in NYC and lived in Bali for 3 months and made art for a good friend's Pet Oracle card project.
I also got lots of local press! In 2012 I stopped updating my art resume but if you'd like a copy contact me.
I have also been writing for the last 10 years. Thank you Jack Grapes! I've also been making a graphic novel for the last 5 years that I plan to make into an animated TV show. I've written 8 seasons of episodic cartoons for this and as of July 2020, been editing the pilot.
