About me

Gender	Male
Industry	Arts
Occupation	Graphic Artist and Writer
Location	Morganton, NC, United States
Introduction	I am a graphic artist and a writer. My graphics work has been used for the web, print, film and television. My writing has been turned into short film scripts and has been published several times over the past few years. Art is the most important thing in the world to me, as I believe it is the only true universal language. Sometimes I like to paint. Sometimes I like to sketch. Sometimes I play guitar. Other times I just listen to other people play it. I’m in love with my wife, my dog and my iMac. I idolize Rob Zombie and Quinton Tarantino. Sometimes I wish I could see my name as the director of a feature film spread across a marquee somewhere while a ton of people are waiting in line. Other times I wish I could just achieve cult success much like Romero or Deodato. I have a hard time accepting the fact that I’m still young and haven’t achieved what I would consider “success” yet. When I worked in a restaurant, I would cut lemons and scoop butter into cups in weird patterns instead of one right after the other. I also have made 2 stop-motion animation videos with butter cups that can be found somewhere online if you look.
