Because of my long career as a public artist, I have probably painted 100,000 square feet of art on many surfaces. However, when asked, I usually answer that I’m a draftsman. Although always in the learning mode, when I have a pencil in hand it seems as though the resulting drawing was made on autopilot. The development of my drawing skills has always kept me grounded in the fundamentals—a sort of home base to which to return after my adventures with paint, ceramics, sculpture, and even (gasp) computer art software. Besides pencils and brushes, my tools now include Photoshop and Illustrator. It seems as though my art is getting older and younger at the same time. Imagíne!
