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 ;)

Lol at your storyline... Velma never looked so good. Hell, even SD looks good. Astonishing ammount of detail but I've gotten used to that in your work, everywhere one looks you've got something that adds to the atmosphere. Here it's MJ getting ready to zombie dance his way into her heart, I hope Scooby rips his freakin' head off... lol. Just amazing.

Agreed Velma is very hot. I bet Shaggy is kipped out in the MV.

Oh my God! I am so thrilled I was signed in to see this! Wow! And Velma had to put down the others when they turned? ROFL! This is a friggin' Zombie Apocalypse masterpiece! Astounding vision and detail!

Holy s**t this is awesome!! Only you can create an apocolyptic scene like I could only dream of doing. My hats off to you!! How do you get so much into a scene without Vue crashing?

The attention to detail here is so mind boggling it's off the charts.... Friggin Masterpiece IMO!
Krid
perfect apocalyptical scene with fantastic details (and cool, Micheal Jackson in the back...)

Fantastically detailed as always, and a very clever use of compositing. I can see a franchise reboot in this one.

Excellent. Balance, atmosphere, detail, and idea. Your point of view and distortions are great to. I am so glad you didn't put the figure in the center, like so many others do. It would have runed it. Well done. - Bob

Now that's a massive scene! Don't know if I'd have the patience for it, but congratulations! It deserves a 10 out of 5!
