I'm a painter, turned illustrator, turned designer from Seattle that now makes a living as a senior creative director in middle of the desert in Phoenix, Arizona. Life is strange to say the least. A few years ago I returned to painting, through traded my Winsor brushes and Golden Acrylics for Poser, Vue, and Photoshop, and have since resumed doing commercial illustration for a select clientele. I mainly work in 3D, but almost everything I do is overpainted until my wrist hurts as I just can't roll with squeaky clean stuff - it's not in my nature.
Recently my work has appeared in Ballistic Publishing's EXPOSÉ, was added to Steve Wozniak's personal art collection, been featured at MacWorld San Francisco and can soon be seen on limited edition tee's at Barney's New York and Fred Segal Los Angeles.
I'm married with three cats and can't seem to have less than ten Mac's in the house at any given time... you never know, I may need that bondi blue iMac for something one day ;)

Gritty, urban, hard working. He deserves to get back on the ground. Excellent. Love these kinds of scifi

This is an awesome render and an unexpected flashback for me. I love the "Hammerhead" ship...though when I first saw it in the grade B movie "Battle Beyond the Stars" it reminded me more of a moose head. Oh well...at any rate, this is a superb and gritty render and I definitely enjoy it quite a lot.

Superb scene! What a great sci-fi image with that cool corsair ship from "Battle beyond the stars" Basically a redo of the magnificent seven. Which was a redo in itself from the seven samurai, sorry I digress. This is such beautiful work with a wonderful attention to detail. Magnificent.....
