about
To put it briefly, I am a creative guy who loves to concept, design and produce creations that move people. I’m continually inspired by the beauty I see in everyday life. Just a few of those being: The Grace of GOD • The Blood of Jesus Christ • KelAndZacMeg • The voice of Michael Franks • The chemistry of The WuTang Clan • McRib season • The colors of Autumn • The sky at dusk • Just doing my thing.
