I have been self employed as an artist/illustrator all my adult life specializing in architectural illustration and realistic watercolor paintings. In 1994 my wife and I launched Louisiana Greetings (louisianagreetings.com), our own greeting card line of Christmas cards, invitations and note cards in a whimsical style. It is a lot of fun creating an imaginary world of characters who are always having a good time. That has been the constant theme of our designs, to celebrate the joie de vivre (joy of life). In 2010 we licensed many of our designs with Zazzle for gift items that complement our greeting card line. Recent projects: I recently finished illustrating a children's book titled, "Louisina, what's so special about you?" by author Linda Sale. Currently, I'm working on new designs with a "Texas" and "Florida" theme.
