Career Bio After a
few years of self teaching, I was
given my apprenticeship at 'Wonders
Ink' in Bowie, MD in 1992. In
1993 I found a spot at 'The War
Party' and 'DuRay Designs' where I
was introduced to a full production
art studio, and had the chance to
explore various mediums, at various
scales. In 1995 I met Kenny
Warnika . A week
later we opened 'Sins of the skin'.
I left there and toured the states
doing guest spots and hitting every
convention I could find. I
returned to MD in 97 and worked a
few local shops until 2001 when I
moved to Columbus, OH. and took a
graphic design position with LCS.
In 02 I was persuaded into opening
another studio, 'the Crimson
Phoenix'. Still working LCS
during the days, and the studio in
the evenings. I took partners
with Christian Schroeder, and we
changed the name to 'Under the Gun'
and moved into a cozy little
shopping center. Then I begot
my Huntington Adventure in 2005!
After picking up a few fixer uppers,
I found out how serious zoning laws
were, and couldn't open a business
there, ect. ect.. I became a
landlord, hence the title 'Lord
George Holderby'. Despite the
3 hr drive from Huntington to
Columbus, I still pulled a weekly
shift at 'Under the Gun' for almost
a year and a half. Only to be
foiled by a suspended driving
license. Staying close to
home, I find myself starting 2007 at
'Thee Inkwell' in Catlettsburg, Ky.
Then in May of 08', I bought 'Thee
Inkwell'. Now I'm Owner/Operator
again.
I'm excited about a new project.
I'm building a video game, featuring
my family, in my house fending off
hordes of zombies. The zombies
are lead by the original zombie,
Jesus H. Christ himself. Just
an experiment, testing the waters of
game programming. I cant
wait to see my four year old with an
assault rifle on a rampage.
Update! Building a game is a
tough one man project, still workin
on it.
