I started drawing when I was about 6 years old with Dan Barry Flash Gordon coloring books. It's been downhill ever since.

In 1972 I went to the Navy, and was stationed at the Subase in Groton, Connecticut. I worked in the Periscope Shop, and drew single panel cartoons commenting on life on the base. It was a small, copier sort-of distribution, at times reaching 40 or 50 copies. In the Navy, that's hard to do.

After getting out of the Navy in 1976, I went to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, where I spent 3 1/2 years arguing with the staff about what was art and what was not. It's interesting that the cartooning that they professed wasn't art is now being taught there.

In 1980 Sandra and I started Domino Chance comics, after we had our banner business (see bannersystems.com) up and running. It was a science fiction, funny animal version of the Rockford Files, which if you analyze it, has parallels to Bugs Bunny cartoons.

Sci-fi doesn't fly really well in comics (only the heros get to fly) so Domino was done on and off for 6 years.

Now, "Contacting Aliens" is finally on the stands!!!!!

I'm taking some of the Uplift art and painting it. Some are available as shirts and mugs on Cafepress.com. Checkout the link on the "FRIENDS" page.

VERY early sci-fi work.....
