History: Birthed and parented in the mighty state of Nebraska (hey, the Flash lives there so it's not that bad!), my interest in drawing seemingly developed from the womb.  Doodling would become my favorite past-time through the flurry of hospital visits and operations.  Perhaps it was a means to escape, or maybe it was just because there wasn't anything else to do while stuck in bed (pre-Gameboy, folks).  Go figure, but over 19 years it stuck somehow and developed into this.  Hoo-daddy!
