Presumably this is your first visit my website.   

One of the things about me is that I like to explain things that probably don't need explanation and I tend to go on.  

I can't stand websites with a flash intro as such an intro is interesting only once and after one viewing is only annoying.   

Adherents to the  philosophy of "Toot your own horn, or somebody will used it for a funnel" will understand why I am compelled to throw down a bunch of stuff about me and what , why, and how of what I do.    BUT!  You, the consumer, should not be made to have to see this stuff over and over and over and over ......it is just annoying.

If I get this finished you can read this at your leisure and not have to come to this part of the maze again unless you want to analyze some tidbit of wisdom and/or humor in this drivel.

I have been drawing cars since the 4th grade, (1956)  By the time I had reached the 8th grade I figured out that becoming the next  Ed "Big Daddy" Roth would involve hard work and....rejection.  As a traveler on the path of least resistance I let my career pick me.  I did other things until 2003 when I tried to establish myself as a commercial artist/illustrator, but didn't take that seriously until 2006.

Car lust was the seed of my artistic endeavors.   In 1961 I paid $150 for a Model A coupe roller to make a hotrod.  If you know me you have heard me say that I didn't have the money, brains, or ambition to make a hot rod.  So, I became a restorer.  Being a restorer of cars involved taking them apart and replacing bad parts with good parts.  I can change parts.  (parts changers are not mechanics).

Time marches on....I still have the car.  Actually, I sold it to my dad when I went to college and he restored it...several times until he gave it back to me a couple of years ago.  I also still have a 1952 MGTD that I got in 1974 when I got back from VietNam .  Right now is is a roller that would have been a basket case had my interest in remained dormant. I am prone to keeping things.  You should see my garage.  If I could get the door open you could see in it.  I am sure you would be amazed.

In 2005 my dream job chased my lardass down.  

I actually get money for drawing pictures of cars and I have an opportunity to finish something mechanical.  I am a mechanic wannabe.  With some supervision I can change parts, but I have forever dreamed of building a car with my hands in my garage.  As soon as I get my garage  clean I will get on this.

Years ago I went the way of English cars as a beard for my generalized car lust.  I carefully concealed my membership in the Church of Torque and Recoil with an honest affection for English and German cars.  This was during my "Scotch, neat" phase.  (What a dipshit I was).

I am out of the English Car closet now.  I love hot rodding and hot rods.  I have a non-denominational approach in that I openly appreciate all vehicles but I am tending toward the old school.  Shiny cars are nice but sincerely believe that almost everything would look great in flat black.  I sincerely believe that John Boutee is correct, "Torq Thrust D's are the ranch dressing of wheels they're good on anything."

Thanks for the work.
