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 ;)

Always love your density of graffiti. Very curious about who is in the distance crossing the street. Perhaps some futuristic Tom Waits "standin' on the corner of Sunset and Alvarado, standin' like a just-got-in-town Jaspar". All around great as usual.

I concur with pauljs75. With your work it's always the details that add that extra touch, in this case the wires running over the roadway as well as that happy face painted on to the traffic light!

Excellent - love the details ;) Imagine standing on that balcony when the trains pass by!? I must say the motion of the trains conveyed in this scene is spectacular. Great work.
