Profile

I am a creative, passionate designer who focuses on the smallest of details when it comes to my art. A gift from God, I have been drawing my entire life and have excelled in most of my artistic endeavors.

I am inspired by life drawing and the human anatomy. I believe that the human body, no matter the size, shape, gender or color is one of the most amazing creations on earth. Whether the body is muscular in design or proportionally more full figured each has its distinct aesthetic appeal to me. While formally being trained in art colleges, I naturally think that there is a hypnotic, harmoniously sensual rhythm to the human body which we as people are attracted to but may not fully understand; which I gravitate to when drawing nudes of the human body.

I describe my style of art as being a touch of Gil Elvgren mixed, with some Boris Vallejo, a lil’ bit of of Ansel Adams and add a twist of Norman Rockwell.

An alumni of the Cranbrook HUB program Bloomfield Hills, MI., trained as an Industrial product designer at a prestigious Art & Design College in Michigan, I utilize various CAD systems (such as SolidWorks, Alias Studio Tools or Form Z mixed with Adobe Photoshop) to help explain projects to clients, but in my free time I chose to stick with free-hand sketching.

My free-hand sketching techniques involve the use of a basic #2 pencil and a ball point pen combined with free-flowing fluent line drawing, hatching, crosshatching, random hatching, scribbling, stippling, and blending to create details and gradients of values balanced with the appropriate use of white space become surgical on any canvas when done right.

Note:
The site will be continuously updated with new works of various designs from Presidential posters to greeting cards to poster prints, so keep looking for it.

**Female models needed: If you’ve ever wanted to see a portrait of yourself I do invite you to email me a photo of you, no matter your look, size or ms.position, if you like the pose I’d very much consider sketching you **
