I’ve always liked to draw.

People usually told me I was good at it; friends, family, teachers, colleagues, even strangers. So that’s what I did, whenever I got the chance. I wasn’t really “drawn” to the fine arts. Portraits, clay pots, flowers, no-no-no. For me, it was cartoons, posters, flyers. Now don’t misunderstand me, Bob Ross is my hero. Just the art had to be quick, or I would get bored & loose interest. Unfortunately after a while all I ended up with is a big stack of drawings. No matter what I drew, there was always room to improve, or learn something new.

Over the years, my work experiences have included printing shirts, embroidery, cutting vinyl, and eventually starting my own business. Since 1995, UGLI Studios has been my ship to steer with a crew of three: me, myself & I. Two of us have enjoyed every moment, but that third guy....  Well, he's a jerk anyway. Usually I find myself as the man behind the curtain. Preparing production files for other business, or creating custom work for their clients. Learning how to produce my own designs, I feel, has made me a better designer for the industry I work in, and the clients I serve.
