Drawings have been a part of my life for years. From taking classes thru a family friend. To doodling in Church. It was fun to do as a kid/young adult.

I always was at odds with making it more then just something to pass time. Art is so open for interpretation and criticism. How does one make a living off of this as a job?

Until that fateful day where I decided to fill a void of time in my life with something.. Drawing from a book Start simple. So A book, a pencil , Paper and a Unibal pen later. I started drawing again. And I was having fun with it! So I made it part of my life at home. Discovered it had a power at work to make my memory sharper. The rest is history
