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 ;)

Wow, impressive in scope! Love the light and corporate logos. The latter helps separate it from "just another Dystopian shot". A very ambitious scene.

I concur with jif3d, looks like they have a smog problem! I also love how you managed to get this seemingly casual/comfortable feel out of this cold gray setting. Well done!

Two pages later I guess everyone has said it so I will just underscore it: Great light wrap! One of the nicest arrangements of Dystopia I've seen in quite a while. Also like the footlights.

I like the way you direct the spectators view from the penthouse terrace into the width of the brawling megalopolis. The skytraffic adds an idea of rational structure to this fascinating futuristic ant heap. Great work.
