I'm an artist working and living in Silver Spring and Washington, D.C.. My art is very drawing-focused, experimental and highly-detailed. My inspirations include pop surrealism, video games, sci-fi and fantasy, the aesthetics of graphic DIY art, and most of all, improvisational creativity and a love of playing. I sell pieces and make art on commision- if interested contact me at ethegmc@gmail.com. Thanks!

I was born November 17th, 1950 in Ann Arbor Michigan and grew up in Chicago. My childhood was marked by broken homes in rough neighborhoods. When I was ten, my stepmother, having discovered my artistic talent, drafted me to sketch portraits on the beaches of the Chicago lakefront, to help support the family. I charged 50 cents for each portrait and averaged between 5 and 8 dollars a day. Although I had to contribute all of the money to the family, I benefited greatly from this experience at that early age.
