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 ;)

Nice bit of playing!

Man!!!! Another stunner! Went into Vue 5 Inf the other day to make a sky. It was no where close to this. One might argue that the blue sky and that sunset don't seem to exist in the same hemisphere/time but beautiful enough not to care. Water, Island Fortress, Incoming aircraft, water creature, all very picturesque.

Beautiful work. ;) Love the sunset's vibrant colours--reminds me of some of the pics my brother's taken while out at sea. He's US Navy, and there's some killer sunsets out there! It reflects off the waters very realisticly, as well. :D

Great scene! Love the water and the buildings. Plus the little snail. I'm assuming the sky wasn't done in Vue. If it was. I gotta learn Vue.
