Comic books sparked an interest in art and became his earliest teachers - Batman being a favorite. Later he bounced around from art schools to regular colleges and back again - eventually earning an MFA degree, which led to a teaching position at The Savannah College of Art and Design in the Sequential Art department. \u003cspan\u003eHe paints subjects that invade his subconscious, using a wonky style to help bring these images to life.
