Photography, graphic design, photo research, Illustration and then some.

Finder of lost images, creator of new ones.  My work has been an eclectic mix of rock and roll and JP-4.  As comfortable with an X-Acto knife as I am with Photoshop. I learned the “craft” somewhere between Lamp Black and Pagemaker, Amberlith and inDesign. I believe that it’s as important to know your way around Caslon’s delicate serifs and the “avant” of Avant Guard Gothic, as it is to master the clone tool, RAW files and “collect for output.”

 

Travel

Should you stay, or should you go?

Go.

It’s really that simple. It doesn’t matter if it’s a walk around the block or 14 hours in a cramped 747 to Hong Kong, get out there. See something new, meet someone you don’t have anything in common with and find out … you actually do. Open your eyes, listen, laugh and order the meatloaf at that little diner in the old part of town.

The Bio

A native of western New York, roots in Pittsburgh, living in the suburbs of Washington DC. and able to drive straight through to Asbury Park, New Jersey blindfolded.

I was raised on sawdust, fresh pasta and home made sauce. Paper, ink and turpentine. Vermiculite, Sakrete and  a steady hand. Creativity was always encouraged, hell, it was all around you, you couldn’t miss it.

I drew constantly.
