I think we could take more photos, specifically of ourselves and what we do together. We seem to take photos of things or places we go but if we were to throw a big graduation party or something, we'd have a hard time filling one of those photo memory boards people do.

I am whatever is appropriate. I really dont care about tidy or messy. I care about dirty or clean, and I want to be clean. But clean doesn't always mean everything is put away in its special place. Sometimes your home looks like a home.. Lived in.

I think its worse to never try. Failing is unavoidable, and its nothing to fear. Quitting is something to fear. But to fail means you tried and to try means you wanted to succeed. I have a saying I tell myself: "As long as you have the ability to do, you have the potential to succeed."

Least attractive quality is probably my stubborn nature and I can be very critical. Most attractive, I guess is my willingness to care for others. I dont really think of myself in those terms so this was a hard question to answer.

The most fun I've had in the last month has been getting fired from my day job and using that to send in long overdue submission pages to publisher & then getting a response from them! Gave me a clearer sight on where I need to go next!

Mose exiting thing I am reading currently is BATMAN. The comic book. I think the creative team on that are doing AWESOME! I also enjoy Batman & Robin and Green Lantern. I just finished book for of A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin and I am looking forward to the fifth book. I mainly watch movies, but I am very excited to see The Dark Knight Rises. Recently I watched the trailer to LOCKOUT and that looks good, and the trailer for the new TOTAL RECALL looks better than I expected.

I have one tattoo and have a whole list of other tattoos I would get but decided instead I would put them on Tshirts eventually, that way I can wear the design but not be stuck with it forever.

Anything is a vague word, with a broad scope, but I am one that believes if someone is really your friend and they need you, than you do everything you can for them. Even if they dont ask. You see a need, you answer that need. It is in those moment that we really see who our real friends are. These days most people are just pals, aquaintences, people just only hang out when there is something fun to do. That isn't my way. I believe in companionship, loyalty, trust, and sacrifice for those you love. I can entertain myself and dont need "friends" for that. A friend is someone who is a part of your life, meaning they should be involved with your life. Even if its through conversations. Friends confide in each other, and maintain that trust confidence so their friends know their information wont be meaninglessly shared with people who have no right to know it. Also friends give of themselves for their friends. You have extra, you dont stow it away, you share it with your friends, otherwise what really do you have? I can't stand people who are only fair weather friends, friends of convienence who only are your friends when you are around, but they never seek you out, or call to see how you are. But for my non-fake, sincere friends, who make a point to be a friend to me, I will always do everything I can for them. Always.

The scariest moment of my life is hard to pinpoint. There have been a few scary moments. Climbing the rock walls at Taylor’s falls was scary, just as my first time successfully jumping off the high dive was scary. Having to jump from a horse at full gallop because your saddle went sidewise and it was either jump or end up under the horse… that was scary. And it really hurt. Having a gun pointed at you, getting jumped by 3 guys while being all alone, or having to get out of an apartment after being punched in the head by a doped up junky who wants to throw down hardcore is also scary.

I would have to say though that for me the scariest moments are the ones I pursue every day as a creator. To take a piece of who I am, put it down in some physical way, whether in writing or illustration, and put it out there for people to see. There is a huge fear in that, a fear you’ll show too much and people will reject you, or just not appreciate your work. That fear is something I take on willingly because when you find someone who connects with your work, the risk is worth it.

My absolute favorite subject to draw is mid-evil fantasy stuff and women. Both are hard, and both if done well can captivate and tell a story to the viewer.

Frank Frazetta's Conan covers for the novels my dad had growing up struck me, and I have always wanted to be able to convey what he did in those single images. I dont think I am there yet. There is just something so rewarding and fun about imaginening something so completely make believe. We dont live in that world and much of it is inspired by reality or history but its all a dream, it can be anything we like. From knights, monsters, kings, castles, the whole spread I love it.

Same with women. They are so hard for me to draw honestly. Yet when I do it, when I capture the woman, capture the feeling the beauty its such a rush, feels like I am king of the world in that moment. Even the process is fun, an not just cus their beautiful and sexy, its like watching this wonder come to life as you work and it never gets old. Piece by peice, the eyes, lips, hair, hips, breasts, hands, clothing, having it all come together and work feel so good.

I dont do Karaoke. I rock out for real.

I can tell you that, wait until I open my club.

Everyones.

As long as I am still playing, I am winning.

I’ve had friends point out to me that I have a bunch of little sayings for everything. I suppose that’s true. I am a fan of proverbs and short sayings that encompass a thought. For me it comes down to what many know is the “golden rule”: Do on to others as you would have them do on to you.

The “golden rule” encompasses the main idea behind any other action. It’s a governing rule that should guide all others. For me though I also try to apply the following in my life:

- You can tell the type of person someone is by the choices and actions they take
- Only say words you are man enough to stand behind
- Belief only takes you as far as the actions it inspires
- Live by hope rather than expectation
- They only think keeping you from your goals becoming a reality is you

I would expand upon what I already have, building a full publishing house to put out high quality comic books & graphic novels. I would also open a pub/game house that sells comic books & graphic novels.

I enjoy early spring and late fall.

The person who when we speak seems to speak the same as me. Not just in language but in viewpoint, opinion, and passion. That is nothing as inspiring.

I say the best way to relax after a long day is to find a refreshing environment with friends, and good food / drink to socialize and not do much. There is just something wonderful about sitting in the company of friends, either at someones home, or a restaurant, but where no one has to do much work, there is just a freedom to visit, laugh, and be refreshed.
