General Info 
I was born in
Other things I enjoy doing besides artwork are
playing with my cats, chatting on the computer, listening to the radio,
watching movies, and sometimes playing Playstation.
Art
I have been doing art projects since childhood. One
of my biggest projects was a book I made for my 2nd/3rd-grade teacher.
I got more involved with art during my high
school years. I helped decorate the freshman hallway during spirit week. When
local events came around I was sure to submit something, and usually I would
win a prize for it. Some of those works are still around. I have Polaroids of them, which I will upload later. I've also
drawn some sick pornos to entertain my classmates,
which I also got in a lot of trouble for.
After high school I worked in the Cherry Hill
Mall for a while doing caricatures. I liked doing that job when I had a customers to work with. However not many people were
coming around, and I wasn't making a lot of money so I didn't stay there very
long.
During my time in the Navy, I impressed some of
my boot camp and A-school buddies with some cartoons I made. During the
deployment in the summer of '98, I did a couple murals in the berthing for the
USS Lincoln.
I sort of slacked on doing art for a while after
that cruise. I've been too busy playing with my new computer, Playstation, going hogging, and working. I did come back to
my art hobby after a while.
Colored pencils were a medium I used most often.
Some other works I have done in acrylic paint. Also, there were a few I have
done in pastel. I have done a lot of computer generated art after I bought my
computer.
Navy
The military has never been a part of my career
plan during the first two decades of my life. I'm sure anyone I went to school
with would be surprised to find out that I went that route. Now that I think of
it, I actually did meet a few high school buddies during my first year in the
Navy. So maybe the word has reached everyone by now. Also recently, a few
classmates found my site and sent me some fan mail.
I went to boot camp at
Two months later I went to A-School in
After another two months of school with the test
bench I worked on, I was stationed in
I liked my job there though. For the most part,
all I did there was put an aircraft part on the test bench and the test machine
did all the work from there. If something were wrong with it, then it would
tell me which circuit cards to replace. On other models of that part, I was
only required to send it back to the manufacturer since it was still under
warranty. So since I don't always have shit to work on, and when I do, the
machine does all the work, I spent most of my time just sitting on my ass. The
worst part of the job was that it sometimes got boring. So, I would read
Reader's Digest, draw, or something.
Once in a while I would be sent out to the ship
when it leaves for a few weeks. That's when I discovered there are places worse
than Lemoore after all. All I could do there was work, draw, play with my Sega
Nomad, jerk off, and sleep. It'd be nice if they had a bar there. As for work,
I had the same duties but longer hours, 12 on, 12 off, 7 days a week. That
really sucked ass.
I went on a six month tour with the
October 2000 I transferred to squadron VF-101 in
As for the working conditions, well all that
time of screwing around caught up to me. I didn't get to work in a nice
air-conditioned shop that time. I had to be out there in the sweltering heat or
freezing cold, doing stuff on F-14s. The working hours were a bitch too. I
worked 12 on/12 off, Friday through Monday nights.
I'm glad to be out of that shit hole now. I just
switched to doing my old job I did in Lemoore, but I'm ship's company this
time. My only complaint now is that every
time the ship goes out, I go out with it.
I did another cruise last September and came
back in March. This time we hit some spots in
School
My original plan was to attend the University of
the Arts in Philly. Unfortunately, I wasn't accepted so they told me to try
again after bringing my credits up at a community college.
I started taking courses at
Site
After seeing so many companies and individuals
having a web site, I decided I wanted to join the bandwagon and host a site of
my own. I had my first site around the year 2000. It was just a little display
of my art on MSN's communities.
Later, I switched over to Geocities but I
haven't got the Grobville.com domain I've wanted all this time until March '01.
I haven't figured out how to host the site off my domain until June '02 so in
the meantime, those who typed in my URL were redirected to my page on
Geocities. Gradually, I transferred more and more of my Geocities pages on to Grobville and added new content as well. Soon, I'll be
completely through with Geocities.
I just opened up a shop on cafepress.com where I
can sell my artwork on T-shirts, book covers, stickers, and stuff. So far the
only item I have available is a journal with the cover showing Andrea Yates
tied up and wearing concrete boots, awaiting someone to sink her in the dunk
tank.
Sometime in the future I plan on
putting some cartoons on my site. I got Adobe software to make AVIs and MPEG files, but I'm also going to work with Flash
when I get around to it.
