Born in the late 1950's, nurtured on all things American (movies, rock 'n roll, classic jazz, newspapers, magazines, tv, baseball, dogs, divorce etc.) I've stumbled upon a career as a creative person. Originally a graphic designer, then a magazine art director, I'm now illustrating and painting pictures for a living. I've been fortunate enough to have my work grace the covers of many magazines, among them The New Yorker, New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic Monthly, Time and Newsweek Japan. I tend to specialize in two subject matters; my loves and my fears. I find it gives me a lot of lattitude in subject matter and it beats seeing a shrink.
