Thank You Mr. Snider
Anyone who looks though my portfolio or reads some of my previous posts will realize that I am a Philadelphia Flyers fan. I have been for almost as long as I can remember. As part of an “About Me” kindergarten project I was asked the question “what do you want to be when you grow up”. My answer […]

There comes a time or two in every artist’s life where he or she needs to create a self portrait. In many ways a self portrait is really the hardest thing to do as there is so much added pressure to represent yourself in a way that makes you happy. Problem is, as an artist you are not only your […]

Brian Dawkins:
Immortalizing a Philadelphia Legend
Sometimes the most difficult part of being a commercial artist is not being able to share the excitement of a new opportunity or finished piece right away. In the case of working in the toy industry which is very competitive and secretive, I am not allowed to either discuss what I am working on or […]

Although all of our individual journeys thought life are unique, they are also very similar in that each is filled with happiness and sadness, satisfaction and disappointment.
