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 ;)

Dunno if this'll make sense because the gamma is probably out on my monitor, but I LOVE the doorway shade! at first I could see any detail in there, then I got literally pulled in so my nose was inches from the monitor and I saw the red head art and other detail. Lighting, texture, composition - all top stuff. I personally have avoided using pre-made models, I've nothing against the practice, it's just personal preference. I think the main reason I don't like to use them and sometimes don't like seeing them, is it can make a poor or unimaginative render look "artificially competent" (if that makes sense!) In this case, not even the most staunch supporter of the "go it alone" school of modelling could argue against it - it's a perfect example of how to use 3rd party models to the best effect... ABSOLUTELY CRACKING PICTURE!
