He sketches a bit but he doesn't think that he is an illustrator. He has an extensive photo and print collection built with his wife and they are out of wall space.

He has been writing since 2004. Poetry came first then short stories. He is working on a series of young adult and fantasy stories. These seem to have hit with people that he sent out to review them. Tithous Redux is one of them. Tithonus Redux appeals to adults and to those who enjoy being read to. In fact one of the children whose parents have a copy of the story, came to him and askeds, "Hey Artie, you mug anyone?" He's all of 7.

His life theme: potius sero quam nunguam (Livy) rather late than never.
