I used to do art while holding down a job.  I traveled quite a bit in my line of work; I lived in the South Pacific, Africa, and in Cuba for extended periods of time and lived at other locations around the world for shorter stays (I lived in exotic sounding places like Zakhu, Berbera and Slopi).  After I stopped traveling I tried my hand at art as a full time profession but found, after several years, that art, though an amazingly entertaining profession, failed when it came to supporting a family, paying for the kids college, paying for food, that sort of thing.  I went back to work a few years ago but still make art. 

Recently I find that I enjoy developing complicated assemblages of drawings which include painted parts as well as collages all mixed up with constructed frames which are, in themselves, collages.  Unfortunately, these works translate very poorly into photograps.  You won't find them on the site. 

I now work a regular job (lets just say I'm building things) but keep after the art.  My wife doesn't particularly like my recent work, but my teens really enjoy it.  Course, I suppose they have a pretty strong influence on it.  Maybe that is a bad thing, but, none the less, it's entertaining.
