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 ;)

God your computer must have hated you for this one! Amazing!

Perhaps not the first to post the greebles, other than Stonemason, but certainly the first use I've seen other than my own paltry experiments. Very nice setup and integration with the rest of Dystopia. And if that is Stonemason's Sky Traffic, this is the closest shot I've ever seen of it. Always a pleasure viewing. don

superb image!

Very nice use and combination of buildings to achieve that gritty Dystopia look and love/hate the gridlock! Using the Dystopia city blocks with the Greeble is a must for it was the one thing looking at them that I felt they lacked - they are definetly verticly challenged though I suspect they could be scaled up some. I got a nice chuckle on the Financial district...

Very nice image! Love the detail. King County Metro?!?!? Hey is that SoDo? Can I catch a ride on that thing up to Everett? The gas prices are killing me.
