I've been making art in one way or another my whole life. As most do, I started drawing at an early age but didn't really, "grow out of it", like so many of us do. I went to a few colleges and studied art wherever and whenever possible, and wound up getting a Bachelor's Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago with about two Bachelors Degrees worth of credits from attending multiple colleges.
I studied nearly every medium I could access on the West Coast and in the Midwest, so I could speak many languages when translating peoples' visions of the future. I didn't go to art school to learn how to paint and try to sell my art in gallery settings. I did it so I could build a life-long capacity for inventing my way into and out of any situation for the rest of my life. I enjoy intellectual challenges and fixing technical, people, and process problems helps address some of those needs but definitely not all of them.
I really enjoy creating my own art concepts, though throughout all of my experiences, I find the most pleasure in listening to people's stories and visualizing them so more people can see their stories too. My main medium is still drawing, though I can get by with reasonable and sometimes advanced levels of execution in many media.
I find the most simple form of communication is simple line drawings. It's where I started and it's where I've come full circle realizing it's the baseline of most human communication.
I'll add creative projects to this and other creative resume postings as I begin organizing all of my projects.
