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 ;)

Outstanding work, mate. Great job on the landscaping, the lighting, and the sky. Looks like it's time to upgrade my version of Vue, again...

Nice sense of scale. I think Vue 8 is a vast improvement too. I really hope they get the problems Mac users have been having sorted out once and for all

Fantastic, the lighting and composition are superb! I totally agree about Vue 8 over Vue 7, wonderful features and a lot less buggy!

I like the use of the tiny figure, when contrasted with the ship and the immense planet in the sky. Gives it sense of scale and grandeur.
