I am self taught since a tot. My art influence when was a little one were first Leonardo da Vinci because of his inventions as well his anatomic studies, Michelangelo for his muscular bodied models, and Botticelli. Then I admired works from Frazetta (muscular anatomy esp. Conan), Syd Mead (Blade Runner concept arts), Olivia (beautiful figured females), Soroyama (beautiful airbrush of shiny metallics on female and male models, and Giger (Alien creature artist). They all influence me and sci-fi movies (the good ones). I majored in art and minored in filmmaking doing animation the old fashion way, sketching tons of pages. With free time I will be self teaching myself computer animation.
