Just a black man trying to make it in this crazy world. Not really much to say about me, besides the following. I'm a gypsy that grew up in Texas, but ended up in Hawaii. How that happen not sure, but it did. In my spare time I call myself an Art Director and/or Sr Visual Designer. But honestly. "I just make things pretty." the end
I’m a art director /sr. visual designer with extensive web, print ,marketing and presentation design experience.
My goal is to utilize the experience in a challenging and creative work environment.
My design experiences range from magazine layouts direct mail pieces,interactive websites and motion graphics.

I painted this about 4 years ago. It was oil mixed with acrylic wash. This painting has been sold.
Just a quick portrait I did with ink and charcoal.
Ended up kinda looking like Dave Matthews.
A simple clean flyer for SF Indie Fashion to pass out at runway shows.
Full page ads to be placed in a number of travel magazines.
A few samples of the Matchlive Event flyers. The goal was to promote the event, and give people a way to exchange numbers. The bottom of the flyer tore off to provide a quick slip of the digits.
