A Page About Me
Greetings Transfans,
Trans you for stopping by my website! I am James Conan Gouig AKA Deceptichop. I am a freelance illustrator and an artist, and of course, a die hard Transfanatic. Pictured starting from the left is Richimus, Peter Cullen (yes, Optimus Prime) and myself.
I have an absolute ridiculous passion and love for the Transformers. It all started back in 1984 at a small “Ma and Pa” store in Twain Harte California. I was just 6 years old when my Dad bought me a MISB prerub (car mode) Windcharger. It then just snowballed from there.
It was back in August 1986, I was mesmorized by TF the movie in the movie theater at the Hayward Ca. Festival Cinemas. At the beginning of the film, Ironhide asks Optimus “when are we going to start bustin deceptichops?” At the time, I thought that was hilarious. And since I was a decepticon fan anyway, I figured that would be my Nickname.
I currently work on 18x24” canvas’ and utilize oil paint, colored pencils, and markers. And I have been drawing Transformers longer than Starscream has wanted to be Decepticon leader.
