Teefury

A word from the curator:
What if two of every kid's heroes were actually the same guy?

Tell us a bit about this design.
Well this design came from a love of old school Nintendo Games and I mean original 8-bit Nintendo and Star Wars.  One night sitting at dinner I made a joke to my wife about doing some drawings in this style and she loved this particular idea.

Where are you from?
I'm from Levittown, NY.  Long island to be exact.

What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?
That I am a very dedicated artist who loves his craft.  To have this shirt made is really something I'm very excited about!  I have done work for www.garykeithandron.com, which is a site for former NY Mets Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling along with Gary and Lynn Cohen to help feed the hungry in NY.  Some other places you can see my work is in Star Wars Galaxy Series 5 from Topps Entertainment and a UK based magazine called Cereal:Geek, which is dedicated to cartoons of the 80s.  

What do you absolutely not want them to find out?
That I have an un-natural fear of dolls LOL.  Child's play is the scariest movie I have ever watched in my life.  Ventriloquist dummies scare the life out of me too!  

Name a few of your favorite things.
Action Figures, Masters of the Universe, Professional Wrestling, Comic Books and Cartoons

What are your feelings about sports?
Love Hockey and Baseball, hate Football and Soccer.  

Would you rather teach or learn?
I would rather learn first, then maybe teach what I have learned to someone else!  

Dragons vs. dinosaurs: which would win the battle?
Dragons, hands down!  

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.
My Futurama Bender shirt with him saying his famous quote "Bite my shiny metal a@$!"  Most pictures of me from comic cons have me wearing this shirt.  I like it because it is comfortable and well has Bender on it!  

Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.
Watching Movies - Spaceballs, hands down the funniest and smartest slapstick comedy out there.  

What inspires your work?
My wife, mother and friends.  Without their support I would be pushing hardware at our local hardware store still.  

Any shout outs?
A few: 
Samantha and Mom - Without you two, I would not be where I am, nor have been brave enough to try.
Nate, Jeff, Joe and Kevin - Without these guys, my artwork would have no meaning and be full of mistakes.
