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 ;)

Very nice scene. Nice POV and DOF. Great details! Excellent work.

(insert hyperbolic superlative here) Does your computer call you "Dave" and coordinate missions to Jupiter, too? After rendering that, I'd imagine it should. That's amazing work. Simply amazing.

Do you mind if I nitpick? Not that I could do any better but the platfrom with the people are far enough away I think to have a slight haze over them. that would put them more in the mix of the background but that would also make that fine detail of the people that much more realistic looking. this is a very very slight detail but I thought since your pictures are such a high level you might want to push the envelope more in reaslistic details. Thanks for the awesome gallery and love the stories you make to go with them you should publish a graphic novel or something based on future yopur city renders. I have you as favorite and love looking at your stuff you do awesome work guy. cvrad ps thanks fro your comments on my pics! rating 5+++

Thanks for your comment and appreciation on my first picture since a long time. LIFE ON MARS : END OF THE SUSPENSE i haven't been playing with Vue 4 for almost 5 years and started at the very first times with Vue 2. i Think I've got a lot of learn and work on practice when a see the quality of certains 3D artits nowadays.3D softwares have incredibly improved those 5 past years too and imagination can be expressed with no limits. I particulary like pictures telling stories, YOU KNOW LIKE Comics. Some of yours pics are absolutly awesome and prove a lot imagination and sensibility.Keep in touch if you don't mind because I do appreciate constructive exchanges on works and will try to make progresses.
