When I was a kid, we were outside all the time.

From morning to night, we played games. We played war and cowboys. We explored. We created worlds within worlds. Time was forever then. The day seemed so long, but it was a good feeling I can't explain. You know. We didn't lock the doors. We knew everyone within miles. I want that back, but I can't.

You can still dream though. So this is the way I dream. I'm glad I have this ability. I'm glad I can share it with you.

I am hoping this art will inspire authors to write. You out there who want to. Yes, we're busy with life and all. Take some time to do what you want. Do it. I made many excuses to myself for so long. I did so much of everybody else's work. Deadlines we know. Life sometimes we don't.

Illustrated Electric ebook covers or hard covers - it's your choice.

Influenced by 1950's sci fi. Terrified as a youngster by classics like "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The Body Snatchers", I looked under the bed and behind things, spooking myself. Watching "Twilight Zone" and worrying that I might be the next passenger on "To Serve Man".

We all live with our own fears, but some of us create more than we need. Now I've come full circle from "etch-a-sketch" to traditional painting and drawing to totally "Illustrated Electric". I carry this to my art and the stories yet to come. God help me.
