"I never wanted a
"real" job. Life as an artist is like being a kid in a
candy store. Wouldn't it be fun to draw portraits of rock stars and guitar
heroes? Maybe some of my heroes from Lord of the Rings?
Paint seascapes in oils? Grab some pastels and
paint animals, landscapes, and people? Play
in Photoshop? Design political banners and medical
concepts in Flash? Create theatre posters in Illustrator? Design
unique websites for personal portfolios as well as business websites? How
about mixing traditional and digital together? Some used to tell me to
"narrow my focus" ...I see now that diversity is my strength. All
forms of creative expression are connected."
