The Painting Gorilla

About the artist Doug's creative journey began at the early age of four years old! Drawing quickly became his creative outlet while undergoing chemotherapy treatments at the Hospital for Sick Children, in Toronto, Ontario. After a long encounter with brain cancer, Doug conquered his battle! However, he will suffer from severe vision loss for the remainder of his life. His passion for comic books and Saturday morning cartoons inspired him to continue drawing. As he grew older, his creativity grew stronger. Doug explored his career options, and pursued an educational experience from professionals in the tattoo industry. Now, more than 20 years after his venture began, he continues to push the envelope in whatever medium is available to him. This new husband, and father-to-be, looks to share his amazing talent for creating images and art, with you! **************************************************************** Learn a thing or two from Doug!
