I was born in Kansas City, Missouri. A compulsive scribbler, one or two sketchbooks were necessary accessories wherever I went and for years were essentially extensions of my anatomy. As much time as possible, and often more, was spent filling them with complex, surrealistic drawings done in pencil and rapidograph pen.
 
In 1972 I moved to San Francisco where my art habit finally began to feed me - I began a quarter of a century's involvement in Bay Area graphics and publishing that continues to this day. In 1988 I got my first computer - a Mac SE with black and white bitmapped graphics, 4 megs of RAM, two floppy drives & no hard drive. Mac-based illustration quickly became a vital portion of my creative palette, and since then the computer has become my primary tool and instrument. I currently operate a PPC Mac G4, and Dell Optiplex GX1p running Win2K.
