I'm just a bit player in this game we call life.  Born back in 1957 in Marshal Michigan I have been witness to the many events that went on around me.  Moved down to st. Louis Missouri just in time to see John Glen blast off into outerspace.  My dad made sure I saw it happen.  I got the privilage to see the Beatles make their debut on the Ed Sulivan Show back in 1964.  My pashion for art started back then and I have never lost it.  I graduated from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsvill Illinois back  in 1984.  Then I spent the next 25 years bumming around in Florida (actually helping my dad in his entrepenurial enterprises).  Back then I got into the wargaming hobby, or to put it plainly, playing with toy soldiers whith a bunch of other likeminded guys.  Why is this important?  Because we had to creat much of what we needed and unless you wanted to spend lots of money the toy soldier we used had to be painted.  And I cast and painted my own.  I finially entered the computer age when the 21st century rolled by.  I quickly got into the art aspects it offered and here I am now.
