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 ;)

Wonderful scene. And like a real city, all those disparate items mix together to form a whole.

Amazing work with some excellent little details (sparks!)

I like how that kit-bash turns out. There's something about the mix of styles and elements from different time periods. It has some of that feeling of visiting a major city that has a history to it. It's definitely not one of those post-modern namby-pamby all too nice urban renewal districts or blank slate cities from some architect's dream design. Instead, it's a gritty side street with real character and much more vibrant storys to tell.

The motion blur of the train, the volumetric lighting and the sharpness of the details...simply breathtaking as well as an excellent example of blending multiple rendering techniques. Definitely going in the favorites pool under "things I aspire to be able to do one day."
