Texas Outsider inaugural blog

2009-02-02T22:35:00.000-06:00

This is a blog to post my art. I have no formal training but would one day like to attend school but , for no greater ambition than to be a commercial artist but my greatest dream is to be an artist for marvel comics

In 2004 I met my true soulmate a beautiful and caring woman I married on may 28th 2005 ,who has stuck with and supported me no matter what and she is my heart .

I have one hobby that hardly anyone around me except my wife understands and thats collecting comics and if anyone out there has that similar interest then you will be happy to know that I will do my best to go to WIZARD WORLD TEXAS each year in November .

This blog is just an outlet for my so called outsider art, thank you.
