OPENMINDER

Although I have always been drawing, painting or doing something creative, I sort of mark 1976 as the begining. From then till the end of 1984, was when most of my original paintings and drawings were done. Those early times involved shows of my original paintings in Ontario and later in BC and In 1983, formed BEYOND GRAPHIX, to help market my original art. My first daughter was born at the end of 1984 and after that, I eventually moved into more commercial work... By 1987 I moved from Vancouver, to the Sunshine Coast, near Gibsons, BC, and added sign painting, designing logos and screen printing to my work... In November 1992, I left the Coast News and made BEYOND GRAPHIX a full time job. I invested in the necessary Macintosh and compatible equipment and since then, some of my logos have gained international recognition.
