Art History: I am a self-taught artist.  I began doing pencil drawings in the late summer of 2001, when I gave myself lessons from the art books in my library.

My first portrait

Within just a few months, I was doing custom portraits for people in my community. I have been doing commissioned portraits ever since. I have met several of my favorite celebrities since I've been drawing. I give them a portrait, and they are usually good enough to sign a copy of it for me. The celebrities I've me so far are "Weird" Al Yankovic, the cast of the British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf, Davy Jones (The Monkees), Lou Ferrigno (The Incredible Hulk), and Noel Neill (Lois Lane).
