A journalist and writer for practically my entire adult life. I've always loved to draw but was discouraged from doing so because it wasn't "practical" and "reliable."
Now, I'm trying to make up for lost time and although I know I have little chance of going professional, I still have hope. :p I am completely self-taught so if any professional masters out there wanna give me some pointers, that'd be great. I'm a horror/fantasy/sci fi fan, be it movies, TV or books. Love it so much, I married a geek. ;) Although I try to do "serious" art, I am not averse to doing fanart so you'll see them peppering my gallery, if not now, definitely later down the road.
I also do commissions. Note me if you'd like me to create something for you. My rates may not be as low as some non-professional dA artists, but I settled on them based on my cost of living expenses. As it is, I'm lucky not to have to depend on my commission income as I would likely have starved by now.
Feel free to say hi. I don't bite ... not really.
And if you like what you see, fave and watch. It's a huge compliment always to see people respond to my art. Plus, check out my Favorites. The artists in my collection are all extremely talented and exceptional; artists that inspire me.
P.S. My tumblr is a bit dusty, but I occasionally update it. So don't be disappointed if you see tumbleweeds. :o
