My Bio
I live in the small farming town of Peru, in Northern NY. The it's very peaceful up here but at times it can be too peaceful. My passion is in music, I taught myself how to play guitar when I was 17 years old after which I started my own rock band with my brother Cody. The band is called Jar'd Spiders.

I am currently studying at SUNY Plattsburgh as a Music Major. I like to draw comic book stye art , as well as writing songs, music and exploring the nearby Adirondack Mountains.

One of the coolest moments in my life was when I went to a Weezer concert and entered a singing contest and won which got me on stage to sing with the band. I am told that I am a big kid, which is true considering that I still watch cartoons and stuff like that.

I just started racing rc trucks and I have recently started learning how to yoyo.

For years, when it came to making artwork my toolbox usually consisted of just a well-sharpened No.2 pencil and a few clean sheets of paper.  Using just these materials, I was able to create some really nice looking drawings that my friends and family enjoyed seeing and gave me a sense of accomplishment. The only downside to this is that I have a really bad habit of starting a drawing and not finishing.  I know that a lot of artists do this, but for me it's not a matter of losing my inspiration or the drive to complete the drawing, it's a matter of...cleanliness.  What I mean by that is, usually when I end up finishing a drawing, the drawing

Yesterday while I was taking a break from watching the livestream of Bronycon I decided to help my mother clean out her ceramic shop.  In her ceramic shop my mother found my old art portfolio from school, artwork that I had made back in 2002-2004 and wanted to know if I still wanted to keep it.  I looked at some of the artwork and some of them had been exposed to moisture and were slightly damaged.  But surprisingly most of them including some watercolor paintings were untouched! So I took my old pieces of art and have decided to share them with of deviantart. I will be uploading photographs of these artworks, some of them have water damage

Hello, so far my summer has been pretty dull.  I have been trying to spend it improving my guitar playing and training my ear in preperation for the music courses I will be taking in august when I return to college.  It's been a long time since I picked up a pencil and started drawing anything.   I'm thinking of buying a art program to use on my laptop but I am not sure which one I should buy and what else I should get in order to use it.  If any one has any recommendations for what I should get, let me know I would really appreciate any helpful information. I hope to upload more artwork soon, how much I can't say.  It's a matter of how muc
