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 ;)

Hey Jacob, a fine sci-fi scene, the loving embrace adds a great deal of humanity to this and of course your wonderful set-up and rendering looks awesome.

Space Opera - Star Wars - Great tribute. I like how you used the light and shadow on the couple posed just so that the they contrast the forms and allow them to be clearly seen in a warm embrace.

love the 'feel' of the image, particularly the backdrop colors and the building textures. The image has body.
