I live and was born in Canton, Ohio. I just graduated from GlenOak High School. I went to Pleasant View School for the Arts from fourth to eighth grade. “American Visgothic” was done in Crayola Super Tip marker and is a parody of the famous painting “American Gothic”. The others were created with Sanford Sharpie permanent markers, and were drawn in a Mead Academie Sketch Diary. So far, they belong to a series of marker movie monster drawings which currently contains 30 pictures and counting.
Boris Karloff is my favorite actor, and has been ever since my dad bought me the 60th Anniversary Dracula/Frankenstein VHS package when I was in second grade. That copy of “Frankenstein” quickly became worn out from being watched just about everyday-and sometimes twice a day. Throughout the years, I would contantly try to capture Boris Karloff’s essence as the Frankenstein Monster on paper, and with nearly every try at drawing him from memory, my artistry reached a newer level.
Even when I took Drama while at PVSA & at GlenOak, I tried my best to imitate his flawless realistic style of acting. His great portrayal of the monster even helped to peak my interest in Biogenetics and science fiction.
