I am a illustrator & fine artist; the image you see is traditional art portraiture 14" X 11" from a 5" X 7" color photograph I used of my fiancee and future son; who are Russian and awaiting their exit visas to arrive in Colorado by March or April 2004. I used mixed media on paper and used a laser processing color printing to give the finished art the appearance of single media finish. My styles, techniques, artistry, media used is very diversed and create anykind of illustrations, sculpture, painting, concept art, & story boards. I create my own characters or use pictures, or live models..it doesn't matter. Currently; myself, my younger brother and a few of his friends are creating our 1st PC fantasy battle strategy game...I am doing all the character and in-game art; while my brother is writing the game code and engine, the rest are doing the scripting and other management details.
