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 ;)

Yeah, I'm getting old, I'm really in awe of the landscaping and not the nekkid' girl. FG rock outcropping lush with prickly surface details and the distant ledges MG let the eye rest before venturing into the dense forests in the BG. Dejah Thoris on a restored Barsoom. The Aery Soul armor comes off a little more Sorayama than Frazetta but only because it seems so daytime blue against that sunset sky. Thanks, gives me something to shoot for in my own Vue struggles. Great shot!
