I drew cartoons most of my life. I graduated from California Institute Of The Arts in Valencia, Calif. with a BFA. I went into the animation industry where I worked for about 20 years ( I won an Emmy for storyboarding in 1995.Now I'm writing/illustrating Children's books.
I guess my major influences growing up were Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett, Mort Drucker and some guy named Walt Disney.
