| "What would you
do if you could do anything?"
For me, the answer is simple: Create Art.
I am extremely passionate about what I do, whether it is teaching,
illustration,
cartooning, animation, professional
videography, or web design.
I'm currently serving as a full-time instructor within the Media
Arts and Animation Department at the Art Institute of Tampa.
When I'm not teaching classes,
I keep myself busy between creating webcomics ("The
PC Weenies") and working as a freelance illustrator
and cartoonist-for-hire.
When I really want to unwind, I enjoy
spending time with my wife Aarti. My hobbies include reading
books, playing electric guitar, biking, watching movies, and
travelling.
Here are a few of my favorite inspirational quotes:
"You've got to trust in something -- your gut, destiny,
life, karma, whatever -- because believing that the dots will connect
down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart,
even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make
all the difference."-Steve Jobs
"Goals cannot be achieved with talent, genius, or education
alone, persistence is the key." -Anonymous
"...there is no such thing as an overnight success. You
will do well to cultivate the resources in yourself that bring you
happiness outside of success or failure. The truth is, most of us
discover where we are headed when we arrive. At that time, we turn
around and say, yes, this is obviously where I was going all along.
It's a good idea to try to enjoy the scenery on the detours, because
you'll probably take a few." -Bill Watterson |
