ABOUT THE ARTIST
I like forgetting about my work.
I love that point in time when I can no longer remember what I was thinking in the moment I was drawing. It often takes a couple of weeks but I like not knowing where the work came from.
Apart from this idea, I don't discuss my work. I don't explain it. I subscribe to the idea that "talking about art is like dancing about architecture." This quote has been attributed to Frank Zappa, Thelonius Monk, Steve Martin and a million other brilliant people. The idea works. If words would suffice, there would be no need to create art.
I graduated from Tyler School of Art, in Philadelphia, in 1986, with a degree in graphic design. Between then and now, I've been fortunate to work with many amazing people in companies like Marvel Comics, TV Guide Magazine, Mattel, HarperCollins Publishers, Madison Square Garden, Ibanez Guitars, Pfizer, Rutgers University and more.
Life has blessed me with three amazing adult children, a passionate life partner and a small set of smart and fiercely loyal friends. Their love and support has, at times, literally kept me alive. Among the most important lessons they’ve taught me over the last decade is that, in fact, we all really are brothers and sisters.
