Ron became interested in art at five years of age. He was seduced by the comic book art of the seventies and was a big fan of the Batman and X-Men titles. Ron is a graduate of Ponaganset High School and won several awards such as the Gold Key award for his excellence in art. After High school he applied his talents to textile artwork and is still working in the line and color separation of many of the worlds most popular textile patterns and licensed images. In 1993-2001 Ron teamed up with Artist Ed Beard Jr. and went to his first gaming and fantasy multi-media convention "DRAGON CON" in Atlanta, GA. This was followed by his attendance at the "GEN CON" gaming convention in WI put on by TSR. At GEN CON he was approached by several gaming companies to produce a variety of CCG art for the new and exploding venue of card gaming. His work has continued to amaze the patrons of the gaming community for his super attention to detail. Ron's latest endeavors include working with many of the top models in the pin-up community.
