Artsy,Quirky,a Man, Over 18,

"He who works with his hands is a laborer.

He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsman.

He who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an artist."

— St. Francis Of Assisi

My flickr photostream is a visual map of my life. i am primarily an artist who paints and draws. But, i have a photographic background, having worked in the photo industry for several years in the 1990's. I still posts photographs that mean something to me when i see the result. I do have graphic arts experience, but my art and my photographs are not "touched up" in Photoshop or other programs. If they have been manipulated, i will state it clearly! it then becomes something like "mixed media" !

I thrive on color and am an expressionist painter.

i like many things! my portraits of self are just snapshots of my life from time to time. no , 365 days stuff, just an occasional "hello".

Enjoy and thanks for visiting !
