Hell I first met Pat at Monster Mania. He used to get tattooed by the very talented Toxic at Last Rites, but Toxic moved to Texas, and he was looking for a new artist. He loved my stuff and has since...

The Nightmare of HR Giger Early on, I got labeled as "The Giger guy". In those early days, very few people could do Giger-based work. Even Leslie Barany, Giger's agent, complemented my work! I was so pigeonholed, I took a break...

First convention of the year! I'll be in Detroit next weekend, March 6th-8th, at the Motor City Expo. As usual, anyone who wants something really cool (or realistic), I love portraits and screenshots. Hit me up, and I'll cut you...
