I originate from West Tennessee and currently live back at my ancestral home. The son of a cotton farmer, I was always drawn to comics as a young boy.  I wanted to be Jack Kirby and wanted to draw like John Byrne.

A little later on I wanted to be John Lennon.. but let's concentrate on the art shall we?

I studied Commercial Art and Graphic Design in the mid 1990’s at Lambuth University in Jackson Tennessee.  Falling into the world of art is odd because I had no real early training, no kind of programs that really encouraged me to enter into that field.
If anything, my surroundings actually discouraged most self-expression.  The ones that did were labeled eccentrics and oddballs.  My High School banned dancing because it was the way of the devil, fer corn sakes!

I was determined to be an artist out of my own free will.  I taught myself and was stubborn to learn it my own way.  In fact, most of my childhood troubles with authority was on account of my drawing.

I have helped to develop numerous characters, mascots, branding and created sequential storytelling for editors and clients of small-press run publications.  And web comic series...  and much more.

Most recently, I created the art of the 2008 Muck Sticky CD, “Muck Sticky is My Friend”. This launched me into the public's eye as a stoner community artist.
I have created many designs, CD designs, posters, publications, plenty of web art for clients like Muck Sticky, Chief Greenbud, Henry Hemp, Cannabis Planet, SpliffTube.com, Time 4 Hemp, Producer Melissa Balin of Brookturn Studios and on and on…

I am always on the look out for interesting and challenging projects.

Thanks and enjoy my art!
