Reggie Sparks was born in Buffalo NY in 1973. Reggie was a latchkey kid. He grew up under powerlines. When he was two he rolled out of a moving car. Reggie remembers the blizzard of 77. His grandma has the board game. She is from Hungary. When he was younger his nextdoor neighbor tried to stab him with a butter knife. It still had butter on it. Reggie was a late bloomer. He used to make out with his uncle's girlfriends. Reginald Anthony Sparks III studied illustration at the University of Buffalo. In 1998 a 2 month road trip ended in San Francisco where Reggie currently lives and works as a graphic designer. Painting remains his passion.

Finally tackling my new portfolio site. Two years ago my last site was hacked crippling it. Iam trying new technologies to keep this site dynamic. We have made major ground setting up my home studio/workspace, returning from a three year hiatus. "I'm Back baby!"

hiatus
-so the story goes.
chewing on my insides and wondering where they went
chasin my tail and rollin in it
-sometimes i forget i only got two legs
it's a gravity thing...
like when you're only half way up you're neither
