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 ;)

Kinda like working nights offshore during, you guessed it storms. The Northsea can be hard. Excellent image. Love the city in the background. Makes it all come alive.

Kick-ass stuff. Seems like a crappy place to work, but there would be people who love it. You captured the adventure and damp danger of it. Good job. ^__^V,,

I like this one, especially the framing and that floating garbage scow. Been there on the night shift and you have that feeling down too.

Very inspiring, going back to the Well of Lost Ideas. Love the flame on the ship. Fantastic job on the city below. Raindrops might be a tad large for my taste but you know that "rain level" conversation is on-going. Cool set I don't recognize which makes it more fun for me.
