Who is this greybeard?

40 plus years of drawing faces...
and getting paid for it

It wasn't always fun and games, I spent considerable time after school and in the principals office. It Seems teachers didn't appreciate some of my early work with a 2B pencil.

life as an artist / designer / 
3D illustrator

Create. Design. Build.

being an artist, you'll always experience things with a unique perspective that other people may not. Being able to pickup a pencil or instrument and create something that is like no other is a gift. Sharing the gift is key.

is that all I do?

Highly qualified and motivated professional 3D Designer -graphic artist-creative/art direction

I have had the pleasure to work in the Exhibit Design industry for 35 years. I truly enjoy taking projects from sketch to scale.

3D Exhibit Design

35 years straight-and everyday is a blast.

When I was young I used to love building plastic models of planes, tanks, boats and an occasional car. Just think if you could do that full size and get paid for it. Exhibit design employs a wide range of artists creating experiences that will immerse you in a brand and appeal to all five senses and then some.
