I enjoy creating oil paintings with a humorous touch and doing the Adequate Man comic book because both give me a way to share with others my sense of humor. I have enjoyed art all my life and grew up admiring those who created art. That is why I'm thankful that I now have a chance to create art. I hope others will enjoy my art as much as I have enjoyed others people's art. April 21, 22, & 23, 2023, I was an ArtBreak artist.
