The face fun of FLISSart Caricatures for me when I was at the State Fair.  I was about nine years old and vividly recall the fascination I had when I noticed this guy drawing big heads on little bodies and everybody was laughing.  The images looked just like the people he was drawing.  Ater that I began studying and copying editorial cartoons , comic books and, of course, the amazing caricatures in Mad magazine.  I've always had a deep appreciation for the visual arts which resulted in a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.  After graduation I had an opportunity to contribute cartoons and illustrations for two weekly newspapers, the Shepherd Express and Community News.  I also had several cartoons published in the Milwaukee Journal.  This was also the time when I began drawing caricatures at parties and events.  Among the many commissions I recieved was a three year caricature project for a major downtown restaurant.

I've been with the greatest most tolerant woman on the planet since 1986.  Our two children are amazing.  FLISS-FACING is fun because I have the them to inspire me.
