About the author

Alter Ego (30"X40")- was designed and created while living in Venice,Ca using high grade illustration board, Pantone markers, inda ink, a Letra jet and UV coating.

I connected the markers to the Letra jet and air compressor. The high pressure stream of air the size of a needle hit the tip of the marker to create a spray. The spray pattern was not controllable like an air-brush, but I loved the look of the cold and warm blacks only found in Pantone markers during that time.

I used a variety of chemicals to blend. I even used lighter fluid at one time.

I created a massive collection of pieces using this technique. They sold in one woman shows on Melrose, Hollywood, Venice and Marina Del Rey. I created commissions and sold pieces as far away as Hong Kong.

Prints from this series still sell today.

I continue to sell work out of galleries as well as privately.

I am a graphic designer and illustrator with a line of children's books published by several publishers.

I am always seeking commissions in fine art, graphic design as well as publishing.

Gallery contacts are always welcome.
