# About me
I'm 27 years old, and I'm from Endeavor, WI. I started my career as an artist at the age of 18. I apprenticed as a traditional sign painter at L'Sign Co. in Portage, WI under the direction of Gary Leamons for four years. Soon after, I moved to north east Minneapolis to become a graphic artist at Miska designs. I moved back to Wisconsin and became an art director/production manager for Design 1 Apparel, where I still am today. Along with being an artist/tradesman, I also enjoy playing banjo, guitar, violin, mandolin and bass (you can check out some of my guitar work at myspace.com/audiootic ). I hope to someday become a book illustrator, and record a solo album.# Comments

Welcome to DA
I was drawn to your work straight away. Very cool stuff. Ive always believed that intention translates. I mean by that wether or not you think you got it across, depends on the viewer. And I felt I got these.
Plus a Zeppelin shirt tops it off nicely.
Tried to listen to Audiootic on myspace but it came up with Error.
Im curious.

"Ive always believed that intention translates." If you don't mind, I'd like to quote you on that. I've tried to say this to so many people in so many words. This can be both a savior and a curse for me(especially when money is involved). Thanks for reminding me of one the cardinal rules of the trade.~AB
P.S. Give our Myspace Music page another try. I just updated the player.

Well ~phew~.
That was a relief.
Usually when someone says "have a listen to my Myspace Music" you go in with high hopes and come back saying *um...... hmm.. yeah.... um....*
But such wasnt the case.
That could easily have been listening to our national indie station here.
And a singer who is NOT crap! Nice solo style there on Wargames. What kinda guitar do you use?

Thanks! For the recording I used a Hamer through a Marshall JMP with a 1960A cab (both borrowed from our producer). Since then I've acquired a 57 reissue Gibson Les Paul Custom (aka Black Beauty) that I use live with my Fender stage 1600(terrible, terrible amp). I still like the feel of that Hamer though. Do you play?~AB

Ahhh.. my boyhood fantasy guitar.(Black Beauty). My first was a japanese knock off version.
I play a Telecaster, but I also use an Ibanez Tele copy with a whammy bar. (Floyd Rose). I prefer the sound and feel of the Ibanez, although the tremolo can be a little buzzy and problematic. Very small Fender Jam Amp. I paint for a living, so music is my "me" time. Im my biggest and only fan.
Id like to try a Hamer but Ive never felt one.
Whats up with the Fender Stage? Ive heard theyre gutsy but a bit "noisy" and no match for the valves.
And who wouldnt love a Marshall Stack.
I wouldnt mind a classic Vibrolux, but I couldnt justify the money.
Most of the time I sit writing songs on my Australian made Maton acoustic. I really love that guitar. Had it since 1993 and its straight as a die.
