Short essay:I am a traditional realist illustrator and portrait artist. I
believe all good paintings begin with a great drawing and all the technique
in the world will not make a bad drawing great. Technique is just frosting
on the cake. To prospective illustrators my best advice is learn your
anatomy and practice, practice, practice. I attempt to get the "look" of the
celebrities I paint, the look most people think of when a famous name comes
up. My pinups are idealized in face and form in keeping with the legendary
pin up artists of the past such as Gil Elvgren and Alberto Vargas. I am
keeping that traditional approach to illustration alive in my own particular
way as a statement for the classic approach in an ever growing digital and
computerized world.
