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 ;)

Superb sci-fi scene. Fabulous lighting and POV!

You really should gather up all your projects... publish it, and I will make sure and buy a couple of copies for my library. I will make sure to reserve space on my shelf for that compendium. The foreground in silhouette framing the view is a classic device that you have used so very, very well. Awesome stuff!

Such an awesome scene!

Great work .... of course we all know the Rebel Scout won't make it out of the system alive. But that's neither here nor there, awesome work. I really love how you can cross the fore grounds and backgrounds in light and dark. It makes for very dynamic images and scenes.

A great Star Wars shot!

Beautiful and well-balanced composition. Splendid job!

lol on the sign. Oh - and make sure we dont have any sensors on the heights so we can be easily observed, just put this old sign up there...

Fantastic scene. Another one for the Favorites.

Really nicely done. I love the faded color effect you get on your pics for distances. And I really like that you went outside the box and dropped the dystopian blocks in a jungle setting. People don't often think to do that.

Great POV, background and environment (not to mention the trespassing sign). Excellent work.

By it's own merit it's a stellar piece of artwork, but that sing in the foreground is priceless! "Have a nice day!" LOL! And then at the bottom, HALLIBURTON?! That is too cool!

really nice work.

Clearly tempting fate with this recon mission. Great scene - nice use of landscape to create a tremendous sense of depth, with an effective density of credible detail.

LOL, now if they put this in the movies it would have been the funniest product placement spot ever!

I guess it's unanimous... Halliburton really is the root of all evil! Great looking scene, the amount of detail work you've put into this boggles my imagination. Great work!
