My Bio
A computer artist since 1987, I originally started my professional life as a news artist and page designer for the Dallas Morning News. I left Dallas for Los Angeles in 1991 where I worked as a page designer and artist for the L.A. Daily news, designed trading cards for SkyBox, designed video packaging in Hollywood, designed toy packaging for Mattel Toys and eventually became a storyboard artist for the TV ad industry. I moved back to Dallas in 2009 and work from my home creating videogame background environments and storyboards for television commercials. Although I am not a professional photographer I am an avid hobbyist specializing in night photography and panoramics.

Too much of a blog site, and not enough showcasing art an
