Since visitors to this page have noticed that I draw caricatures I wanted to let you know that I am available for gigs in the St. Pete/Tampa/Sarasota/Bradenton areas. If you have an event that you need entertainment for then contact me @gmail.com and we can discuss your needs see what I can do to add a little artistic flair to your event. If you need more than one artist I have access to other artists and together we can pull off a memorable event!

My In-laws went on a cruise years ago & I was obliged to do a piece of art of the cruise ship that was framed and hung in their home for years. I had forgotten about it but it was returned to me recently. Not a great piece but it was done with Chartpak markers on paper.

I ran across this old Polaroid camera screenshot of an image I created on an old Apple computer. We’ve come a long ways since those days.

I’ve had a resurgence of interest in ‘Stone Trek’ with the interview with Ed Gross over at closerweekly.com a couple of weeks ago, for which I am forever grateful! I would like to hear feedback from folks who are aware of a way to archive the mileposts of a person’s life. I won’t be here forever and a way to be remembered for my contributions would allow me to pass on, knowing that my efforts may live in perpituity. Any thoughts would be gratefully considered.

I do a lot of 'photoshopping' with an iPhone app called ArtStudio, mostly aimed at interacting on Twitter with 102.5 The Bone (not to mention the song parodies I've done using GarageBand) - www.soundcloud.com/Brain53); this image is one of the better examples; the metallic facehugger decoration was originally around the cleavage area and it was fairly easy to move it and clean it up.
