"When I was a child I experienced the need to draw after watching Saturday morning cartoons along with movies like Batman, Superman, Robocop and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.  I was always fascinated with drawing dinosaurs and the first time I watched Jurassic Park, I remember drawing the Tyrannosaurus Rex for days on end.  I recall after watching the shows asking my father to draw the characters out as best he could.  Although he wasn’t an artist, he would always scribble something on the paper that resembled the character and every time, I was more so excited than the last."
