| I always thought that I'd be a writer. It was a bit of a shock when, sometime in the middle 1970's, I realized that I was spending all my time making pictures. For the most part I've been doing that ever since. Back in those days there weren't a heck of a lot of options for artists, so while I drew and painted and even sold my paintings I also did advertising art and designs for businesses, painted signs, did some illustration for publishers and small music labels, and worked for awhile as a draftsman. Computers started to get awfully interesting in the late 1980s. I began to do freelance work for computer game companies, founded one, foundered it, and moved on to making and directing art at a series of game development houses. Several have been shot out from under me. These days I try to do work that I like whenever I can; that's pretty much what this is about. My role model used to be Philip Marlowe, but I've mellowed with age: now it's Doc from "Cannery Row". |
