I am a 74-year-old former gym teacher who has been fiddling with pencil and pen and ink drawing for years. I am self-taught, and have sold many prints over the past 50 years, mostly pen and ink. I also have had a few contract drawings and even a painting in mixed media from time to time. I have entered contests before, but have never won one.
I started painting and drawing 10 years ago after I retired from a career in finance. It was time to use the other half of my brain and I was sure it still functioned.
I am the little dreamer! I have been drawing and painting since childhood. I have always been pulled toward figurative subjects. In fact I got into trouble while attending school in fifth grade.
I was in English class which was boring to me at the time so I was doodling in my notebook. Just so happens that I was drawing a busty woman wearing a short skirt…(Little Abner comic style). Well my teacher did not like it one bit. She actually drug me into the principals office and called my Mother to come in right then for a conference about my artwork. Luckily my Mother stood by my side and applauded the skillful drawing! I promised to pay attention in class and keep my drawing for home. We’ll just go with from then on I did my best not to get caught again :)
I drew this out of challenge
A working artist that moved to the beach and rediscovered my love of wildlife art. There is just something about sitting on your porch and watching a troop of monkeys rousting a flock of parrots from the tops of the trees that makes you want to capture them on paper and in paint.
I’m a navy vet who recently graduated college with a certificate in 3D animation and preproduction. currently transitioning from my career before the Navy in comic books and illustration. to something in concept art and entertainment design. although I learned to model and animate in 3D, I’m much more interested improving and using my 2D traditional skills, so I since I been out of college have been taking courses at places like Brainstorm school and CGMA.

I am have been creating art since I have memory. I work in multimedia, but my love is and will always be in graphite. The pencil can be a Stratavarious. An extension of us when we know our tools and how to make them sing.
