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 ;)

I always enjoy your art. Lots of details in this one! If you don't mind me saying, this render appears to 'be a small model' of a city. Some suggestions for tweaking it: Dark foreground shadow across the bottom. Add a strong, crisp light source, but keep the GI as well. See if removing the DOF helps as typically it's the single biggest contributor to making a scene look small. Check out this site for more info on DOF: http://recedinghairline.co.uk/tutorials/fakemodel/ Consider adding more Haze for distance (or jack up the aerial perspective to something like 20 or 30 (or more!). Perhaps some more 'uneven' textures would help as well as very small elements. Keep up the superb work :-)

Are these wonderful buildings quake-proof? Excellent render!

A definite touch of cyberpunk sprawl and a highly believable vision of what the City of Lost Angels might look like. The use of 'real world' brands and companies that viewers recognise also lends a very believable edge to your vision!
