The
Seed
The union of two people is beautiful but sometimes
the result is something words can't define.
In this piece the woman carries her lover's
Child and their kiss shows that the love continues
on after the birth of their first born. |

How did you
get started in the design business?
As a little kid, I always had an inclination to
draw. I would draw on any blank space and it drove
my mother nuts. Luckily, my dad was a designer so
I had some good guidance from a young age. It was
his suggestion to get me a sketch pad so I would
stop ruining my mom's stuff. The idea of having
an entire notebook filled with blank pages was a
dream come true. He also suggested I enter The Art
Student's League so I could foster my talent. You
should have seen the look on my face when I walked
into my first figure drawing class as a kid. That
changes a teenager's mind for life. As I got older
and with the introduction of the Web, I applied
my skills online which was my official entrance
into the design world. |

Street
Passion
When the feeling hits and you realize you're
not the only one around you can become careless
about who's watching. It's a rare sight but
always seems to get attention. |

Who or what
has been your greatest inspiration?
Before Da Vinci had all the hype he's got now, he
was a God in my eyes (still is). To this day I can't
understand how one person can become that good in
so many different areas. I'll never be the Renaissance
man he was but I'll die trying. Anytime I look at
my work and start to think I'm good, I flip through
some of his work and it brings me right down to
earth. |

Ketch-up
Pimp
A political piece poking fun at how John Kerry
got the seed money for his campaign. When
the future of our country is left in the hands
of today's politicians, you've got to do something
to cool off the heat under your collar. Clearly
I chose illustration to express frustration. |

What is your
strongest discipline?
My ability to fill 1-2 sketch books a year. Sometimes
I draw, just to draw. No game plan at all; I guess
it's a way to get my thoughts out and visually document
them. I could be like lots of designers nowadays
and give it up but I just can't sit in front of
a computer all the time. |

Paris
Walks
With her debut single populating the radio
waves, a sex tape distributed at an incredible
rate online, and a reality show that won't
go away, it's clear that Paris Hilton has
a tight grip on her goal to stay paid. Talk
about walkin' the dogs! |

Any advice or
tips to the novice designer?
I say listen to the teachers you meet along the
way and do what they ask. That will never change,
since the client will one day take the place of
your teacher. But when it comes to putting a collection
of your work together YOU be the one who has final
say. Save those pieces that you did before they
were influenced by someone else's opinion. |

Salsa
Spotlight
When the Latin music blares through the speakers
and you see that girl who stands dead center
of the club with her hips in constant flux,
it leaves an unforgettable impression. Livin'
Lavita Loca!!! I'm kidding but you get the
point. |

What has been
your most rewarding and challenging project to date?
Why?
I once designed a Web site that worked on a coordinate
system. Rather than have the pages be seen one at
a time like a book, I wanted them to all download
at once and so they were laid next to each other
and you could browse the site by moving up, down,
left, right, or diagonally. It was all done in DHTML
before Flash was so huge. Shout out to Chris Casciano
(the developer who made it work, you da man!) It
was a daunting task for the company, we'd gone through
three programmers before we found one who could
get it done. |

Super
Rudy
It could have been anyone but Rudy stepped
up to the plate (or at least that's how it
appeared ) when the city I live in was devastated
on 9/11. We needed some sense of security
at the time so kudos to him for trying to
provide that. |

From your portfolio,
what is your favorite piece? Why?
Wow, that's tough. I have this one piece that's
not really for kids but, it's of two people in a
back alley about to get um..."involved". You can't
really see anything exposed but it's clear that
there is a great deal of passion between them. It's
my favorite 'cause I feel like most people never
go after their passions. The two people in the image
didn't even wait to get home before they went for
theirs. |
