I have an ambidextrous mind. Semi-professionally I'm an illustrator, graphic and web designer, database manager, and game developer. As of 2014, the river of life said I should try building product and curating an art gallery for the Framemakers in Waterville, Maine.I'm primarily an artist, so I'll start there. Through the inspiration of TSR, to become Wizards of the Coast, and greats such as Keith Parkinson, Clyde Caldwell, and Larry Elmore, I discovered the wonders of fantasy pin-ups. A majority of my work consists of graphite drawings and digital paintings. My work has appeared on fantasy novel covers, in issues of Heavy Metal Magazine, and has been commissioned by former Playboy Playmate, Claudia Christian.Now the techie stuff. I began C64 programming in 1986. Graphic design was my major in school, and I took the first web design course available. My work experience has been mostly in advertising and marketing in the graphics department. Graphics and web have melded, so I took on HTML, CSS, and Javascript. I have since furthered that knowledge with development tools: PHP, XML, SQL, some Awk and Apache. SEO, mobile optimization, Flash advertising, and e-readers have been other areas of experience.I started game programming in 2005 with Flash actionscript. Three major games were completed including "Indingo's On-the-Fly"​, an inventive memory-style collection game that combines 2D and 3D perspectives. I do all the artwork, spriting, and animation. Currently I'm designing an RPG-Maker game, not with the built-in editor but by completely overhauling the raw Ruby code, which I will soon boast as another area of expertise.Today, owning the Framemakers, managing its workshop, and playing with heavy machinery pays the bills. I also use my technical skills to create digital cost estimators and work orders-- plus managing the art gallery and yes, handling advertising.
