I'm a veteran (Semper Fi), artist, avid reader of westerns, fantasy/horror/Sci-Fi, legal/crime and spy novels, the occasional "slice-of-life" story, limericks, and yes, even comic books/graphic novels. Some of my visual art can be seen at the following location : westernman.deviantart.com I also have the occasional inclination to produce some "written word" with the goal of amusing, inspiring, or (at least) distracting those bold individuals who give my works a read. OOO-RAH!
