I dislike bios and even at the best of times I'm not very good at them. I was born in Michigan thirty some odd years ago. Due to my parents working I was left in the care of my older brother a lot who warped my poor little fragile mind with horror movies and several questionable practical jokes. He was also a brilliant artist who I looked up to a great deal. It was in trying to mimic his drawings that I slowly learned to draw. However, all the dark movies, fantasy, and sci-fi I was exposed to as a kid through him helped make me a bit of a spooky geek. Somehow he managed to turn out far more straight laced. Har. I still blame him for what I've become, which I tend to think is an alright artist.

So there you go. My artwork and writing pretty much sums up anything you need to know about me. For those who have been visiting my site for the last ten years (yes, ten years this coming June) and have wondered what happened to it and me, I had to take a bit of a vacation from the net world, and actually the world in general. I've had health issues my whole life and they've gotten progressively worse as I've grown older. They hit an apex this past year that literally took me out of the every day routine and caused me to spend far too much time in the ER for anyone's comfort. I've been on the mend since November, and with any luck (pssst luck, it takes work) my health will remain good. However, since I've had so much down time, I've gotten behind on things dealing with my creative career. I'm trying to fix that presently.

If there's an email of yours I never returned, a request, a print inquiry, or something I didn't get to you, or anything that you were met with silence, please email me so that I can correct it. Due to the nature of my illness, there was a short while where a lot of things didn't get handled properly or dealt with because we were all too busy focusing on me. I would like to fix anything needing to be fixed because I sincerely appreciate all the support and interest people have taken in me. I don't want to fudge that up. So do email.

I'll put something more swank up here on another day. In the meantime, keep checking the events and merch links as I'm doing conventions this year and a couple art shows. I also have a few new books coming out and my comics. As I'm putting so much into print work that can be aquired to keep, my website isn't going to be as sprawling as it used to be. I hope you like what I have to offer. Sick or not, I've still been rather busy artwise. Of course, when you're ill and you do art your doctors try and make it out to be "therapy" as if it hasn't always been theraputic for me ;)
