BIO
I will tell you the truth, I put things inside that most people never see. Art directors tend to think I go insane, and I have had people accuse me of throwing art notes away completely. I read them and try to bring out what I feel is the character in my mind. Do they have a deeper significance? Some do. I was close with very few people when I was younger, one person in particular. Sometimes she comes back through my work, and I sometimes see her in my paintings even when I have tried to run from it. Sometimes events in my past arrange the scene, I tear away at my memories and use whatever I can to create the scene. One of the most painful paintings I have ever done was the cover to White Wolfs The Bitter Road. I look at that painting, and see something I thought I buried years ago. - An excerpt from an interview in french magazine 'Backstab'

omfg - I really wish I could paint like this. Sorry, but you have a fangirl (and I feel bad about it - since I'm not at all into stalking ^.^)

I really like this one. The blue ones that you've done gave more of the feeling of the Pathfinder but this image just seems ominous!

Jaw dropping! Well done

Yeah relly nice job but it looks like... well, probably not commerecial but rather too commonplace. I think your older works are much better in concepts. But I also understand that since this was done for a movie You had to follow wishes of costumer, right?

This was, in fact, a reaction to many, many rejections. I thought going with a much more paperback look, or early classic movie poster, say, in the European style might jar something with art director. It worked, and they loved it, and after months of submitting I took a week off and felt I had nailed it. Then I got an email that they were just going to reject all of them, and just take some snapshots from the film and throw together a photoshop poster. So I started again.
