Teefury

The main inspiration for this piece has been a big influence on my life since I saw his very first HBO special in the early 80s. Ironic that my 3 year old son has recently discovered the magic that is the "Taquila dance" with a zeal similar to my own.

Formerly: New Jersey, Exit 10; Presently: Philly, home of the Cheesesteak

Not so much the location of where I live, but definitely the people that I have met once I relocated to the Philly area. I've been very lucky to meet several like-minded creative folks who have become major influences on and supporters of my work, some of which have also been featured here on Teefury, such as Montygog and Jeff Kilpatrick. Becoming a member of the Philadelphia Cartoonist Society (http://www.phillytoon.org), has done more for my imagination and artistic style than I can ever put into words, in addition to the members of that group being some of the most talented guys and gals that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing...

I've done everything from logo and tattoo design, to character design and poster design, in addition to my day job of editorial and cover illustration & design for a publisher of medical trade magazines in the Philly area.

I thoroughly enjoy drawing genitalia in other people's sketch books when they're not looking...

It would definitely be my "Derby Skull" logo that I use as my avatar here at Teefury, as well as on social networks like Facebook and Twitter... It's a little something that represents my younger, wilder days...

Is action figure collecting a sport? If "Curling" is an Olympic sport, then collecting toys has got to be considered a sport...

An extremely clever answer to this question...

First things first: I must rectify a major oversight from "Shout Out" sections of past Tee Fury interviews; Eric and Mary over at Geekadelphia.com have just been fantastic in spreading the knowledge of my existence to the world at large, and for that, they get major kudos!
