Surftiki here!

I attended Lassen College for Art, i have a Certi in Graphic Desgin. My Portfoilo link has mt Awards and CV.
I studyed art in the mediums of painting with watercolor and acylics, pencil and charcoal, inking, lettering, photography both film and digital, computer art and design. The more skills the better for me.

I've been a artist since i was a child but recently as of 2005 gotten serious in art. My skills are growing and i hope one day to do several art projects, any were from a childerns' book to inking for comics and so much more.

I'm open to do commission if i have the time.
Check out my PROFESSINAL PORTFOILO here [link] for all my various types of work.
