Statement:
The twenty-plus years creating various types of art have offered many exciting and fulfilling experiences.
Skills acquired in the gamut from fine art to commercial design embue my heart and art with a passion for uniqueness.
From creating large scale murals to painting portraits. From designing album and CD covers to editing multi-media DVD's. From making commercial props to crafting interesting wall hangings. From hand lettering calligraphy projects to digitally designing print materials. From airbrushing apparel, vehicles, helmets, and other items to making modern abstract sculptures. On and on the road winds to varying projects and artistic endeavors.
By purchasing my works of art, or commissioning me to do your projects, you will be embarking with me on this journey of excitement and fulfillment.
Sincerest thanks to you, the art lover for appreciating the divine gift of creativity. To you, the art buyer for supporting the creative souls in this life.
For helping us to keep traveling through the surrealistic landscape of discovery and wonder.

Title:
Torch ManYear Made:
2000Size/Weight:
approx. 9"w x 19"h / less than 5lbs.Description:
This is an airbrushed and urethane clear-coated driftwood sculpture. It is basically as I found it on the shore of Sam Rayburn Reservoir here in East Texas. Apart from cleaning, sanding and painting it, and adding a stem and base for it to stand on, it is unchanged from the shape nature gave it. I personified it due to it's appearance of having arms and the root that goes out looking like smoke from a torch. The airbrushed red spot on it represents a heart which is where I believe creativity comes from. The sculpture represents to me the creativity given us by God and which exists in each person, burning like a torch. The airbrushing and personifying of this piece of driftwood represents my appreciation that God shares with us, His own creations, the joy of making things and enjoying their beauty, each in our own way.All rights to photos, prints, likenesses, and other creative efforts stemming from the visual appearance of this piece are reserved and will not transfer to the buyer of this piece. All rights are also reserved regarding the name "Torch Man" as well.
