Greg and Dave have been friends since their time as wee art students. Since then, they’ve worked together on many endeavors and have always found some common ground in their fascination with the weirder side of things. They created Strange Goat Studios as a place to share art that explores the strange, the paranormal and the macabre.

I enjoy ninjas, comic books, tacos, and things that go bump in the night. I have created works for the corporate world, book publishers, comics, and ad agencies. With my personal work I explore imagery that revolves around dynamic light, animals, science, and anything else that tickles my fancy. I also teach drawing and illustration.
I believe the children are our future and that we must teach them well and let them lead the way. We have to show all the beauty they possess inside. I feel that this will give them a sense of pride, to make it easier, and let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be.

I grew up on the east coast in a modest pink whale under a black railroad bridge. I fell sideways early in life and was often seen practicing Psychic Automatism. Using pencil stubs of various shapes and sizes, I would draw on just about anything I could get my hands on.
At the age of 18 I escaped and attended art school. Shortly after my graduation, I started my career as an artist and a professor of Illustration. Making pictures that tell stories became a running theme in my work. Though a narrative is always prominent it is often portrayed in a surreal and allegorical way. My paintings are often embedded with a fascination of the bizarre and bit of sarcasm.
When I’m not wandering about town, I’m creating in my Dream Box which is nestled amongst the thickets at the edge of the wood.
