Truth, Justice, the American Way, and Prairie Chickens.....

I grew up in the rural part of Central Minnesota. After graduating high school, I headed east to attend art school in a faraway land called Dover, New Jersey. I am a graduate of the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art, Inc.

Accepting a job with one of the premiere Laser companies in the world, I moved to Georgia. It is here that I create cartoons, illustrations, and animations for local, national, and international clients.

Rothsay, Minnesota

Prairie chickens moved ahead of the settlers to inhabit the prairies of Minnesota. A large concentration of the protected bird can still be seen on prairie meadows of the Rothsay area. In the early spring the male prairie chicken performs his mating ritual called booming. He spreads his wings and tail feathers, inflates the orange wind sacs and struts while making the booming sound.

On June 10, 1975, Rothsay was designated “Prairie Chicken Capital of Minnesota”. This statue of a booming prairie chicken was designed and built by Art Fosse with assistance and funds from the community. The statue stands 13 x 18 feet and weighs 9,000 pounds. It was placed on this site and unveiled, June 15, 1976.
