BIO-HAZARD
Born in King's Cross,NSW Australia. My parent's were German and split up when I was 12 months old, unfortunately my Father died young, so what ! . I have liked drawing & painting for-ever. When I saw an Amiga 500 with a ray-traced juggler, I was hooked !!! I left High School then joined a Rock'n'Roll band and toured the East Coast of OZ as Road crew. Then I played Lead & Rhythm guitar in my own band's, EASTERN UNDERGROUND(Sydney), FLASHBACK (Noosa), SAXON DOG"S & STEEL RAIN (Gold Coast). I worked as a Cameraman at the Gold Coast Turf Club. And a lot of my "in-between" footage got beamed all over the Planet on Sky Channel, So if you're ever are in a TAB (betting agency Oz style) and see pic's of cloud's, pelican's or chick's tit's then you'll know, it was my footage !  I won a $5,000 scholarship for 3D Animation, at Silicon Studio's Training Center-Brisbane. Did a Multi-Media course at Kingscliff TAFE. Lightwave 8.5 is my choice of weapon, with Poser 6, Vue 6 Extreme and Zbrush 3. One day I will be doing 3D for a living...I hope ! You will find, that most of my art has a weird and twisted sense of humour to it, life's pretty straight without 'twisties' !Â
...Cheers fellow artists...Jeff :o)
UP-DATE:2011...WOOHOO...I made piccy of the day at E-on (Vue) and I'm stoked, my experimentation, persistance and learning new techniques paid off.

Anybody interested in commissioned works or a position in 3D art and animation...I'm your man !

BenTheArtist
Awesome work! You really nailed it, looks just like him! A great tribute to one of the greatest guitar players. You forgot to reverse the strings though, or did you think we wouldn't notice? ;) still, super work.

Wow, that's an incredible likeness. Jimi was and still is a legend. You've honored him well.

ooooo baby... deep into the zen of the killer chords, becoming one with his guitar, an exquisite moment captured in a way we can only imagine.... and don't worry about the strings being backward.... it's the face that sells this!

I was gonna say something bout them Strings too but hey, Lefties in a Righty world, you know how that goes. A fitting tribute to Jimmi and not long past the 40th Anniversery of Woodstock. Peace

Exceptional render & image... Yes Jimi rocks....!!!!

Whoa! This is Really Outstanding!! Super job, Jeff! Jimi was, and still is, one of main idols growing up (I'm still growing up, not there yet). My favorite song? Well, the whole Electric Ladyland album played as a single song would come closest. By the way, for those who don't know, Jeff has the strings just as Jimi did. Yes, he played them upside down. I have a friend who also plays that way, and quite well. Go figure. But there's no doubting Jimi's ability with a Strat. Maybe we guitarists should all try stringing up that way . . . Nah! :^)

Outstanding work Jeff ... Jimi is still one of my favorites musical artists. He was a genius with that left-handed upside-down guitar. I see that you caught that lil' detail in your render. How'd he do that!!!??? BTW, I saw him w/ the Experience in concert at the Jarhhunderthalle, Frankfurt, Germany in 1969 ... 'twas quite a show. :-)
