i was a staff artist for relix magazine from '92-'96*... and contributing artist for lesser known publication "Unbroken Chain" from '91-'94*.

(*years approximate)

Excellent work - the sort of stuff i really like

who are your influences (if any)?

thanks aa...

i also checked out yer avatars, and those are very cool... photoshop is something i'm not very adept at...

as far as influences, yeah, i have a few... i started out painting (acrylic) but ended up more in pen/ink, because i like the black/white almost photographic quality of it...

always liked the album cover artwork of stanley mouse and rick griffin (grateful dead), and roger dean (yes). also, very inspired by the surrealists salvador dali, rene magritte, and also illustration work of mc escher and aubrey beardsley. i guess dali has always been my favorite.
