Our Story

I have been a cartoonist and an illustrator since I could hold a pencil. After graduating from the
Columbus College in Art and Design in Columbus Ohio I worked as a freelance artist, graphic designer, Cartoonist, forklift driver and plenty of odd jobs. 

In 2009 I decided to turn illustrators into colorful, whimsical pieces of art and participate in art shows. Over theYears my style has evolved and now I participate in art shows across the US. I continue to work as a freelance artist and also produce a comic strip with Universal Press Syndicates GoComics.com.  I also now illustrate children’s books and graphic novels as well. 

My ultimate goal when creating any illustration is to make artwork that makes you smile.

2009

On a whim we attempted to make a collection of pieces to attend the Fish and Shrimp Festival in Urbana, Ohio with some art. Some years later In 2011 we attended our first full art show With a hand made fabric walls folding tables, lots of wild wall art, and a rickety pop up tent.

This is the Delaware art Show doing much better and improving our set up.

After 3 years of giving it our best, we had a few rocky shows and lost our steam, so we packed it up, filled the attic with artwork and forgot about art shows for 9 years.

2020

In 2019 my wife began mentioning art shows and urging me to start producing artwork again. Skeptically I slowly moved forward but it was a difficult road, as we slowly developed a new style and presentation for the artwork.

We’re excited to attend art shows and share colorful and fun artwork with loads of wonderful people.
