*NASTY*

I grew up in an artistic middle class family in the small town of Claremore, Oklahoma; on the outskirts of Tulsa. Major shape to my character came from my workaholic father who builds and restores classic cars out of his garage. Weekends at car shows, hamming it up with the old timers in the car clubs, digging through junk yards and sifting through swap meets in the 90\'s \"before the days of eBay\" played a major role in my sense of style. My mother is an under-appreciated art teacher in the public school system. She has given me the sense of bringing all that I love about art to form. I am the middle of two brothers, another key piece to the puzzle of my life. They have given me the desire to stand out from the crowd. Last but not least, my wife. She keeps me in check when my head gets too big and drives me to produce the best for my family.
