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 ;)

Ahah.. The "Dick's" in the upper corner caught my eye... then the bio about Seattle and uhuh. You have burgers in your blood - my guess. Your work is awesome.

I really like the atmosphere and gloom in this one. The perspective is unusual, but perhaps, as usual, you make it work very well! And the skyrats and such are a perfect touch! :)

Isn't UF3 great? It's a natural inclination I guess, I too have been jamming UF1-2 and US2 into some scenes. Haven't had the time to populate as you have. First, thanks for giving TraffiKar some air time. I do love the details you put in. The couple talking in the rain, talking on the roof. I guess that's what the stranger is looking at. The diner on the roof, Dic(ks) very warm and inviting. Feng's revamped? And, of course, the pigeon shit. The rats-of-the-air, waiting out the storm was a good addition to begin with but adding their unwanted fertilizer to the sidewalk just completes the grime. Oh, the urbanity! : )

i love that no matter how expansive your scenes are, architecturally, you always manage to have some people wandering around them somewhere. it really brings the scene to life. it's not just a bunch of buildings, it's a Place. excellent work, as usual!
