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 ;)

Great lighting and desert effect. I live in Arizona, and that is very much like how things can appear in the worst of summer heat!

Brutal and Unforgiving. Great use of the volumetric and colors to create the atmosphere. Kudos.

Hang on a sec, cough, need a drink, this picture is so dusty. Fantastic, really puts me in the holiday spirit. ; ) Super letterbox and always good to see a close-up shot of the VAP. I like how it looks like someone did try and create their own exit on the left. Maybe a burned out wreck of what was left upside down in a crater about twenty yards further on. Who knows, could be trying too hard. Great shot, hope you have a good holiday of some kind.

Very cool render Jacob, the atmo suits the scene-setup perfectly, nice placement of characters as well and typical posing of three blokes stuck in the middle of nowhere for days on end.

Really cool scene and I definitly think the panoramic view works well. This scene has a very martian atmosphere...nice.
