  I was
born just before the Christmas of 1962 to a traveling band of Air Force
gypsies, in the southlands of Texas, USA. From birth I was blessed with
a huge brain (see photo). This large cranium helped ignite my creativity
and lead to a few B-movie roles as a young alien. I was rejected for the
role of an Oompa Loompa.As an Air Force gypsy, I traveled to many far away lands and once lived in Turkey, actually learning the language very well. The Turkish phrase I remember most was gobble, gobble... gobble, gobble, gobble. 
Once I hit buck-a-roo age, my body caught up with my brain and I began
to look like the other kids. I was eventually allowed to go out and play
and I began to grow hair. I lost all of my B-movie roles and got to quit wearing green alien make-up. I call this time of my life paradise. There was no school, no job, no taxes, no bills. Just cartoons, Zingers, Tang and space food sticks! Under Dog, the Banana Splits and Bullwinkle were on TV and life was good. I began experimenting with crayon on wallpaper at this stage.
 As I
entered grade school, color was invented which opened new doors in the
field of cartooning and photography. It also added a bunch of crayons
to my box of black and gray.It was at this time that I lost both front teeth and wrote a letter to Santa, which became a hit song. Speaking of songs, my beach boy good looks and love of surf and sand ultimately landed me hundreds of miles from any beach in Enid, Oklahoma, where I still live today. Do you think I'm kidding about this stuff?  This
is me during my college years. I throw this in to prove one thing, I once
had bangs!! Look at those beautiful locks. Back then, I owned hair dryers,
combs and even clogged drains. Dig the big cheesy, teardrop glasses.I attended three colleges and changed majors a few times, finally graduating in 1986 with a BA in graphic advertising design, never once getting to draw a nude model in figure drawing class. I did get to take pottery, jewelry making and could have even taken basket weaving! |

 After
college and hair, I began my working career. I started out as a silkscreen
printer and began wearing bandanas. I also grew a mustache and learned
how to snow ski. None of this has anything to do with my cartooning career but how else was I going to work in a photo of me wearing a bandana on a ski slope. I began to get serious about my cartooning career around this time and even began sending cartoons to the top magazines.  Me today,
with my beautiful wife Denise, at my twenty year high school reunion.
Compare todays hair with that of the first photo. Eerie isn't it? Today
I am busy with a career in advertising, the ownership of a design studio
and this thing I call Curtoons. Cartoon logo design has become my specialty
and I've become very successful at it.I also now have two of the most awesome daughters any dad could ever have. Piper and Chaney are being groomed to one day take over this great cartoon empire. Enjoy my cartoons and return soon.  Me today!View my resume here.
