Brian's artistic career began when, at age 4, he brilliantly copied the Peanuts characters printed on his pillowcase to his bedroom wall. Although dismayed by his choice of canvas, his parents encouraged his creativity by giving him a deluxe box of crayons (the 120 set) and plenty of paper.

Years passed and, while other kids played outdoors developing hand-eye coordination and social skills, Brian scribbled away in low-light conditions, ensuring his myopia forever. More years passed as he honed his talent with watercolors, acrylics, oils, and airbrush. Even more years passed and he and his twin brother Craig both graduated from the Art Institute of Houston on scholarship with degrees in Visual Communication.

After two grueling months of commercial art production and design, Brian pursued his love of illustration as Animation Coordinator at M.D. Anderson. It was here that he began his long love affair with...the computer. New worlds were open to him: electric colors he'd never seen before, wireless electronic pens, and the magical "undo" command. Working on a Dubner workstation, he designed digital graphics for various television projects, public service announcements, and medical programs.

Soon his desire to leave medical illustration to those who enjoy the sight of blood led him to join forces with Vic Tamborella of Houston's VTTV. Together they produced some really cool, award-winning graphics and animations for commercial television.

A few years later Brian moved into sole proprietorship and back into the world of print with the purchase of his own Macintosh. That's when he began doing what he truly loves: sleeping late and working in his PJs.

Before long, his style matured, his business grew, and he got too busy to sleep in. His kooky characters and wacky scenes have been created for many happy clients including McDonald's, Compaq, Texas Instruments and numerous magazines. And although now he's up and working at a respectable hour, he's often seen by the FedEx guy still wearing his pajamas at lunch time.
