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 EXPOSĆā°, 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 ;)

Great atmosphere - hopefully you have some more 80% projects lingering somewhere in the depths of your HDD. ;) Love the idea that these shipp still need to be tied to the dock using ordinary ropes. :)

Brilliant work as always! I've always liked the idea that despite the advances in technology, the simple ways are still sometimes the best. BRAVO!

One thing about Sci-Fi that always gets under my skin is lack of attention to detail. I can accept a lot of strange concepts if they are consistent within their own world, but forgetting to dot the I's and cross the T's makes me itch. That's why you are one of my favorite Sci-Fi illustrators. You depict everyday Sci-Fi worlds as the grubby, industrialized places they most likely will be (if we survive that long). You even poke fun at your own lapses, such as tying off a ship like this with rope, when a MagLev Gravitational GPS would do (and is doing) the job so much better. My hat's off to you for all the amazing images. BTW: if you can see my rating, the only reason this image is not 5 stars is because it is not YOUR best image. If it was from anyone else, it's an easy 5-star. Your consistent excellence has simply set the bar too high.
