I have an MFA Degree in Illustration from Cal State Fullerton. I am also a digital illustration instructor at CSUF. I have been teaching there for almost 9 years now. I am also a computer graphics instructor at Santa Ana College, Orange Coast College and East LA College. (all of these are in southern California, of course) I am also a freelance illustrator and I am looking for gallery representation for my Limited-Edition Fine Art Giclee Prints of my Vector Art Motorcycle Portraits.

Again, this insane pop-art style is killer cool!!
If there were a story to it...I think it might be about her warding off some satanic possession or something...but mostly, I just love the wild, spontaneous energy of the image!!!

Hey man! Sorry about this late response. The "Story" behind this one was about the instant of "divine revelation"... you know, like the old renaissance paintings where women are fainting and falling over before the glory of the heavenly angels.... well, something like that. Thanks for the compliments! I might get back to more work like this some day.

Cool! ...But by the way you transform a bike into a thing of divine beauty... It's very clear that you've found your calling!
