Who am I?
I like to tell stories. There are lots of ways that stories may be told, but for me, I like to write and to sketch and sometimes paint, and on rare occasions, create 3D models and animations.
I’ve published a couple of books, drawn a few pictures, created some videos. How the story is told is not as important as the telling of the story itself.

Fan Art Sketch Portraits
While I’ve tried to draw many things, either digitally or on traditional media, the one thing that has always scared me was drawing people.

Did I write enough words today?
I see on a lot of writing communities where people say, “I wrote five thousand words today!” with lots of congratulations from others in the community. And it is an achievement to do that. The problem is that when authors, and especially new authors see this and think, “I only wrote a hundred words, I…
2020 Hindsight
It struck me as, well, not funny, but ironic, that the year that everything went to hell was 2020. That 20-20 vision we always used to indicate perfect perception, then came a year that most of us would like to forget. 2020 has been a year of change, a year of adaptation, a year of…
