On this page I'll discuss the history of my art and how I got involved in drawing.

History

I started drawing, like most people as a child.  It wasn't until I was a teenager that I started drawing in ball point pen.  I got interested in ball point because of my brother Ted.  By the time I was 15, my brother was already putting out professional quality art work with pen.  He started showing me how to do to a few things and let me grow into my own artist.  For many years all I did was draw as a hobby.  Then, one day  I drew the picture "Night Crew".  From that point on my art took on a whole new meaning and now I'm at a point where I'd like to share this exquisite art with as many people as I can. 

My Background

I was born in the small Alberta town of Edson, in Canada.  My father was a logger and he took us out to the bush with him at very young age.  In fact, I was 9 years old when he tuaght me how to use an axe, by the time I was 15, I could do just about any of the jobs on my fathers logging crew.  It was this up-bringing that gave me such a strong love for the beauty that's all around us.  It was this love for the beauty around us that inspired me to draw.  I left home when I was 16 and went to try and make it on my own.  Well, I can honestly say that life is one hell of a teacher.  You can see in certian peices of mine some of those lessons, and although those lessons were hard learned, they have enhanced my art work to a point that I can Now share it with you.
