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 ;)

DangerousThing
Nice detail!
RJS
That is mind-boggling! I could swear I see the Mouldy Crow parked next to the Flea on a landing pad in there. And the ad for the "i-bot" cracked me up. This is a monster piece, and your most amazing work to date. When it comes to this kind of image, you are definitely "da man", JC. I salute your skill (and your patience).

WOW! Fantastic work. Now this would of made a better opening scene in Avatar (extended edition) than that lame street view.

There's an amazing amount of detail in this one. So much to find.

This is an amazing image!! Such an amazing amount of detail!! Damn that really must have taken a while to do... But it does bring to mind something i have been wondering about concerning flying traffic of the future. What happens when there is a car accident? what about a major accident? What safety precautions would there be?
Orinoor

I've always liked these images. I'd love to do a few myself, but I doubt I'd be able to get all that detail in.

This one slipped past me. Always happy to some heavy traffik in your shots. Always impressed with the amount of signage you can pack into a scene.
