TheDudeDrawing

Drawing, art, and graphic design art are among my passions. I’m an experienced graphic designer in both hand-drawn and computer graphic content. I’ve worked for many printing firms and acclaimed advertising agencies.

For eleven years I was a Walt Disney World Resort cast member working at attractions such as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Beauty and the Beast – Live On Stage, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. What I treasure fondly as being the most fulfilling role was my performance as a Disney show artist, instructing guests from all over the world how to draw classic Disney characters at the Animation Courtyard; talk about a super fun gig!

I received my caricature art training through the Orlando, Florida-based company, Caricature Connection. I was contracted by them to create on-the-spot custom cartoon-like caricatures at the various kiosks they managed throughout the Walt Disney World resorts and other greater Orlando area venues.

Upon relocation to the Shenandoah Valley area, I’ve continued developing my skills by offering freelance services around the Winchester area. I’ve done volunteer work for the annual Sherando High School Safe Halloween fundraiser and other faith-based and community charity events.
