ARTIST

---

I WAS BORN IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS ON APRIL 24, 1964. I STARTED DRAWING AS AN INFANT CHILD. I CAN STILL REMEMBER WHEN MY MOTHER FIRST TAUGHT ME HOW TO USE MY CRAYONS. AFTER COLORING BOOKS, I BEGAN MAKING MY OWN SMALL COMIC BOOKS ON PADS OF PAPER. MOST OF MY CHARACTERS WERE SUPERHEROES. I USED THE TELEVISION AS A SOURCE FOR MY ARTISTIC STUDIES. I COLLECTED COMIC BOOKS BEFORE I COULD READ. I STUDIED THE ARTWORK IN EVERY PANEL FROM COVER TO COVER. LATER, I BEGAN TO COLLECT ANATOMY AND ARTIST PORTFOLIO BOOKS. EVENTUALLY, I DEVELOPED MY OWN DRAWING STYLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY FORMAL OR HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE FIELD OF ART. THEREFORE, I CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE COMPLETELY SELF-TAUGHT. THROUGHOUT MY LIFETIME, I'VE STUDIED EVERY ASPECT OF ART FROM MANY DIFFERENT SOURCES.
