I'm a freelance graphic designer, and digital photographer/pizza delivery guy... working in Indiainapolis, IN. i mainly work within the local underground music scene's (but have worked for bands ranging from glasgow, to new york city), i have spent the last 5 years honing my skills doing cd covers to buttons to t-shirt design on the cheap. I'm currently shopping around for an author to pen a story for a project of sequential art. seriously...no seriously...lol.

i am completely self taught, i started making art when the band i dropped out of high school to join, failed. My main influences are akira kurasawa, and stanley kubrick, yeah, film not a painter or photographer. I aim to fuse manga/anime style line work with expressionism, and minimalism....create a style all my own, in the end...my biggest dream in life is that one day some one will interview me about my art...its going to take a lot of work to get there.

i work using adobe photoshop CS, a homemade computer, a minolta maxxum 7d, and a wacom graphire3 6x8....and an optical mouse.

besides art, i photograph motorsports events, and do a lot of driving, i collect toyota mr2's from the 80's, and have one specifically tuned for track/road racing use only. i do all my own work, i can rebuild an engine....i run a car club, but there all scrubs....i also collect tattoo's and ex-fiancee's.

Something seem amiss with my images? too dark? have you adjusted your gamma, and colors for prepress settings? thats the goal we all have right, publishing these things? try this page for help, seems the most simple and easy of all the calibration techniques i have used.
