My Bio

I'm the proud father of two, which is the reason I never seem to be able to find the time to ink anymore, though I try to when I can.
I also run a commission and original art website for artists called Serendipity Art, just one more way to be connected to people who share the same passion for art that I do.

So, I've completed one inked piece in the last year, not exactly burning up the drawing table.  It's really sad when I think about it.  My drawing desk is sitting right here next to my computer desk and I stare at an unfinished piece every single day, but it seems like there is always something else going on.  Though in all fairness, they have been pretty important.

That being said, since I don't have a premium membership to create a poll, I'm asking you guys to help me pick my next inking piece.  I'm currently working on a two figure piece featuring cosmic characters, which I'm excited about because I get to do "Kirby krackle" for the first time! I'm not going to give all the details for the pieces I have bluelines for, but I'll give you the first names. Voting will stay open until I'm fin

Wow, has it really been a year since I've posted a journal on here? Well, it was about the same time that I last picked up a brush to ink, which when I think about it, I find very sad. Once I took over Serendipity Art Sales, I threw my time into helping artists that could actually do this with some skill.  It was a bit of an undertaking, but one that I felt was worth it.  Along with this new venture, I had a 4 year old to take care of, the task of finding a paying job and trying to fix a relationship. Well, the relationship fell apart soon after taking over the site.  I totally put the site over her, but for the best in the long run.  Foun
