How long have you been creating?
I've always drawn as long as I can remember. I
started when I was young by copying all the Sunday comics like ,
Beatle Bailey and Garfield. I didn't really get into art until
college though. I was very involved with music and was a music
major in school. I became very interested in Patrick Nagel in the
late eighties and decided to buy some paint and try to do one on
the back of my jean jacket. That was a huge hit and I started
doing them for all my friends at school. After graduation I got a
job at IBM as a marketing assistant and ended up being taught how
to do computer graphics. I did that for a few years (while selling
my Nagle jackets to various boutiques in Chicago) and then was
hired by a head hunter to be a creative director for an
advertising agency. It was then that I decided to move from jean
jackets to actual canvas and I began reproducing all sorts of art
for people who wanted something they saw by another artist to be
in their colors. About twelve years ago I met my wife Alicia, who
very quickly talked me out of the corporate world in order to
pursue an art career doing my own work. It's taken about ten of
those twelve years to develop my style and a following before I
really became successful at this art thing. Ultimately it was
being discovered by, at the time, the GM of the Allegro Hotel in
Chicago which is a hot spot for celebrities and musicians. He
chose me to do one of the Cows in Chicago's Cows on Parade Fest
and then hooked me up with Rent in New York and Second City for
which I did commemorative commission pieces.
What is your media of choice?
I tend to work with acrylic on canvas more than
anything but have been adding a few different mediums along with
it like chalk, ink, watercolor, oil and craypas.
What are you motivations for creating?
My wife and son are a huge factor in being
motivated to continue this path. I get so much support and
encouragement from them on a daily basis. Aside from that I just
need to be creative and wouldn't know what to do with myself if I
couldn't be. I suppose it would be wrong not to mention the money
too, it never used to be a motivator but it certainly keeps me
working now that it is actually coming in.
What other artists or movements inform your work?
I have always been a huge fan of artists like
Kandinsky, Chagall, Picasso, Matisse Warhol and Lichtenstein. I
have many styles but keep getting drawn back to the hard edges and
bright colors of Pop Art. I also continue to research all the new
artists out there and have become friends with quite a few like
Carlo Beninati, Romero Britto, Joe Burlini, and Ed Pashke ( who
recently passed away).
What do you find visually stimulating right now?
Lately, I've been buying a lot of vintage comic
books as they are very visually stimulating and great for new
ideas and composition. I'm drawn to bright colors and most
importantly, women! Their faces and figures are a huge inspiration
in my work.
What's the last book you read?
I am in the process of reading Harry Potter and
the Half Blood Prince right now. I just love all the HP books. I'm
also a big sci-fi fan, one of my favorites being Robert Heinlen.
Tell us about some of your artistic goals for
2006.
To continue to saturate the world with my work
including sifting through various publishing contracts that have
been offered to me so I can start doing prints. I would also like
to start doing more gallery shows again because the way things are
right now I'm stuck in my studio 24/7 and would love a reason to
actually get out and mingle a bit.
What would you like your fellow artists and our
collectors to know about you and/or your work?
I love what I do and couldn't imagine ever not
painting. It allows me to spend time with my family and play a lot
of golf when the weather allows. I think that the new Internet
world has become a great way for artists to be seen and sell and I
applaud sites for taking the time to support us in our ventures.
For the new artists out there I say "Never give up. It took
me ten years to get where I am but now couldn't be happier. Keep
trying to get better as an artist and never stop trying to
re-invent yourselves." For my collectors, "Thanks for
all your support
