Self-taught. I moved to Knoxville 8 years ago. Knoxville's small town atmosphere but big city sites and places sparked the creative flame again that I thought was lost. So now I draw at least one finished drawing a week, whatever inspires me that day. I use a variety of media: graphite and colored pencils, charcoal, pen, and chalk. I just recently illustrated a children's science fiction book for a friend of mine, Amy Lovett, a terrific author! It's entitled, World's Away. Awesome book for kids! Check it out. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Worlds-Away/Amy-Lovett/e/9781607490968/?itm=1 "Impatience is the enemy of good drawing..." http://lordbishop08.blogspot.com/
