  was born on October 22nd, 1970. He grew up in the city of Lakeland, Florida living in a quiet neighborhood where the homes rested peacefully beneath a forest of mighty oaks. He lived there until he graduated High School in 1988. Then he moved to Orlando, and attended college at the University of Central Florida. It was during this time that Tom began to realize his dream that it might be possible to make a living as an artist.

He went into business with his best friend and began to promote his artwork. Tom's primary medium at this time was pastels done on a heavy grade black paper which allowed for a high degree of shading and contrast in each picture. These tended to be of a more abstract, surreal nature while Toms' technical drawings were highly detailed time consuming pieces to create.

These technical works took several hundred hours to complete and contained intricate details which covered almost every inch of these pictures.

The Wizard's Spell is a stunning example of Tom's unique style of drawing. This picture took over four hundred hours to complete and contained intricate details which worked their way across the entire paper.

Pen and Ink continues to be one of Tom's favorite mediums although the amount of time required to complete one of these pictures limits the number of new pictures produced.

 

 

Throughout the ninety's, Tom concentrated on developing his unique artistic style while branching out into other mediums and avenues of exposure

Some of the highlights included murals, custom pictures, T-shirts, prints, posters, commercial graphic applications, computer generated designs and promotional material for various musicians and organizations across the US.

Tom continues to produce beautiful creations in all mediums but lately his emphasis has been on computed-generated art. This medium has allowed Tom to take his art in directions he had only dreamt of before.

He can now combine his traditional pen and ink and pastel images with computer enhanced design. The picture on the right and the one below are two variations of one original.

 Tom now resides in North Dakota.

Other items in the works include various collections of poetry, an illustrated childrens book and a science fiction novel.

It is Tom's hope that by creating these images for you to see, he can inspire others to take the time to enjoy the beauty and magic of the world around us.

This month's photo was taken during a summer trip with friends from Florida. It's amazing how grand in scale nature really is. The cycle of seasons rolling along while the forest sleeps draped about the land.
