After college, (by the way me and Johhny Velour went to school together we were both in the Comunnication Arts Dept, he was a designer I was an illustrator),after college I became a computer animator for broadcast TV at a company called Rezn8 Productions. I was there for over 4 years, but after 9/11 there were a whole bunch of lay offs because the company came really close to going under. I've been freelancing since then to pay the bills and promoting rockabilly shows on the side for fun. I may actually give up freelancing and go ahead and go in house again soon. I'm looking to get into video games as an environment artist cause I'm really fed up with spinning logos for braodcast TV. Here's a site where I show some of my work, I use this site for getting freelance work - http://www.tufftimes.com/ obsessions: Vintage Pin Up Art - I collect vintage pin up art. The main artist I collect are Gil Elvgren, George Petty, and Alberto Vargas. I've been doing this long enough that I have some really cool stuff. Tiki - Always liked Hawaiian shirts and generally all types of Hawaiiana but then one day I bought a Kanaloa by Coco Joe on ebay and have been hooked on all things Tiki since then. I'm finally about to build my own home Tiki bar and would like to eventualy get into doing a little carving. Like many others in Tiki Central I fantasize about someday opening my own Tiki establishment. I'm one year into a 7 year plan that will end up with me opening my own place. Like I said it's a 7 year plan and I'm only one year in right now so it's a long way off, but for now I can just keep dreaming about it. Classic Cars - The most amount of classic cars I've had at one time is three. I'm down to one car right now, a 1964 Ford Fairlane, I'm going to completley finish this one before I start another. For my next car I'm thinking maybe an old Cadillac Hearse.
