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 ;)

Fantstic scene - you can feel the busyness of it all.

Fantastic scene!! Great realism work!!!

Excellent! This kind of visual clutter really ups the level of detail and helps heighten the sense of realism. Well done!

Great product - will give me that blade runner feel I'm after! Also in Blade Runner mode, I like the fact these are asian signs. In the future I feel that asian culture will spread it's wings to the Western world, and who knows London 2100 may well look something like your image! I imagine these are low poly/high detail as you usually deliver in that department, but what overhead is there in this type of scene when you render it in Vue?

Superb work, the neon and the burnout are a nice touch too. Also, it's nice to know I can get organic oxygen around here, as opposed to the synthetic stuff :)

Cool, excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the signs, of course, are clever and cool -- but the whole image is awesome. i especially love the garbage men -- that simple occupation so rarely seen in 3D just adds a whole bunch of "this is a real place" to the pic. brilliant.

Very exciting work - AWESOME!!
pixelmeister
Darn cool!
