Prior to 2000, my life was consumed with making a living as a designer and art director. After 9/11, I had a reevaluation of my creative needs and slowly began working again in pen & ink. The approach harkened back to my time as a teenager when drawing was an obsession that needed to be done. Life had delivered me back to a new beginning point and I began to work even more intensely from 2001 to 2010, focusing on having my work in public as well as other activities around the Brooklyn.
