Early Artwork

As a child growing up in California. I had an overzealous personality that often got me in trouble. Because of my rambunctious ways it wound up leaving me grounded and sent to my room for the rest of the day or longer and no TV or music was allowed.

I was one who always felt that ones universe is right in front of you as long as you look. It never bothered me to be grounded because it would mean that I would get to go back to my “Never Never Land” and go to the place I loved the most, buried to my eye balls drawing what ever my heart desired. I would often be told to come out of my room because I was no longer grounded and I would not come out because I was deeply engrossed in the art piece that I had lost myself in.

It was at this early age that I developed an keen frustration for the concept of being bored. I could never understand the use and or placement of this word. Bored to me meant that one was not smart enough nor creative enough to entertain themselves. So I was never ever bored growing up.

When I reached my High School years, I found my self like most young men, lost in the pursuit of pretty women. But my abilities fell short when it came for me to actually meet women. So I found that if I drew women I could hide behind my art and hide the fact that I was quite shy. I was always bold enough to ask a girl if I could draw her, and it allowed me the ability to spend time looking at her and getting to know her through my art.

I have always enjoyed doing artwork. I think that I just moved from using crayons to other forms of drawing. I loved doing pencil or ball point pen artwork for years. The work presented in this gallery mostly depicts my high school artwork and the first few years after high school. I found a few pieces in an old box but this is only about 10% of the artwork I did with in my youth.
