Where/how did you learn to draw?
Like most artists, my complete lack of social skills led to a monk-like seclusion in which I had unlimited hours for drawing insulting pictures of more popular classmates.

Any advice for me? I'm learning.
Peruse online tutorials, art books, draw from photos and especially from real life, look at other artists' work, watch more accomplished artists in the process of drawing, and practice every day. There are two tutorials associated with this site; I'm hoping to add more later, but for now you can learn how to vary facial structure, draw folds, or ink.

What materials do you use?
Remember: If you're a good artist you can make art with poop and the side of your neighbor's house, but if you're an artist with a job, you can afford Copics and some nice stiff Bristol board. (I admit though, some of my best work is done using a Sharpie on the back of sales invoices from work.)

Will you draw something for me?
If you have a serious, professional inquiry (here, the word "professional" means "ready to pay $30/hr") feel free to e-mail me with details. If I am interested/available I will give you a price estimate. Ify ou just want a trendy angel wings tattoo out of the goodness of my heart, you're going to get sarcasm and an attached picture of mulleted midgets playing basketball. I love that picture.

Where can I buy prints of art I already see?
If you have Paypal, you can send me a payment of $5 for a color print and $3 for a b/w print, and specify which image you would like. They're all 8" x 11". Don't forget to include your shipping address and contact information.

My psychic powers tell me other merchandise is coming circa mid-January. ^_^

What do you look like? I'm on the right.

Hey I recognize you! Did I meet you at [insert dorky convention here]?
Probably. Hi!

On the right you mention one of your hobbies is writing. Where can I read your work?
