Oh good, a chance to write about myself... I currently live in Las Vegas. I work as a caricature artist, but also regularly produce comic books and illustrations, and paint in oil for practice. Born in Missouri and raised all over the country, my first art sale was at age sixteen. I've drawn portraits and caricatures at Knott's Berry Farm California, performed silhouette cut art at Tokyo Disneyland, and as a freelancer provided illustrations, comic books, and storyboards for numerous clients. I'm influenced by Steve Rude, John Constable, Will Eisner, Lee Harvin, and many, many others. I enjoy most forms of art that tell stories. I follow Christ first, and everything else second.  I speak Japanese, can drive a forklift and juggle four balls at once. I once swam around ice floes to retrieve a frisbee out of a frozen lake. I once drove from Los Angeles to Springfield, Missouri in 26.5 hours. I once made up mad libs from the daily newspaper with a friend in the hospital. Please enjoy looking around my site, Tielman
