Contact Garbo

I have illustrated for Books, Magazines, Calendars, Record Labels, as well as doing work for Fine Art prints. It was through the circulation of the Prints that I was introduced to Scrimshaw. A Custom Knife Maker named Gene Baskett liked my paintings and contacted me with the idea of Scrimshaw work on his knives. That was in 1987 and I have been primarily involved in this medium since that time. It seems I found my niche in the art world in Scrimshaw and gained a very good friend in Gene. While doing the freelance illustration work, I wanted to separate it from my Fine Art painting and did so by signing my Illustration work with 'Garbo' (a nickname I picked up in college) rather than my signature. When I started scratching ivory I used that same pen name as my signature.

One of the finest artists and finest people in Scrimshaw is Rick Fields. Rick has encouraged me and given valuable advice throughout my endeavors. He is truly unique in the field of Scrimshaw and is just a great guy.

While most of the work I have done has been for either Custom Knife Makers or Collectors of Custom Knives, I have always done display pieces and offered them for sale. These pieces allow for generally larger work which I enjoy, although I have also done numerous Miniature Custom Knives.
