secret watering hole

an unfinished concept that started out as a simple brush experiment, but eventually I found myself filling in details to a piece that had no clear direction needless to say, I've lost my enthusiasm for it but thought I'd post the piece anyway :)

Canyon secret

Environments

Two more environments, one of which is still unfinished :)

Travels

Sorry for the non art related post but I've been doing a lot of travelling lately and thought i'd post a few pics from my ventures :) I of course have hundreds of photos taken from all of these places but I'll just post a couple of them 8)

in July issues of ImagineFX?

Well apparently I was in the July issue of the international Art mag ImagineFX and never got the memo lol. They did a small FXpose feature on my work so if your interested please go check it out! :)

Back online!

I've been so swamped with work that I haven't even had the time to get my work computer back online! Turns out the culprit was a corrupt antivirus program, anyway all is well now. I don't have much to show that isn't under some sort of NDA but I do have a quicky that was done for a small challenge a while back. Wish I had time to further it but alas I do not :(....:)

Check out my art in D'artiste Character design!

I recently had some art accepted into Ballistics newest D'artiste book so Please check it out if you can! Anne Pogoda, Kekai Kotaki, and Gonzalo Ordonez all had great tutorials that should be very helpful to those looking to improve their character design skills! :)

Interviews both near and far!

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to be interviewed for both the Syracuse newspaper (near where I live) and The Fantasy Art magazine in China!

For the Syracuse article I was interviewed by Scott Rapp who was very friendly throughout the process and afterwords he and a photographer showed up to see how I work in person and to take a few photos of me at work! :) you can see a preview below:


For the Fantasy Art Magazine interview I had the honor of speaking with Lizzy Carft who sent me two sets of questions. First were a set of basic questions and after those were completed I was given some deeper questions to answer which I feel resulted in a very in depth and personal interview that I hope everyone can enjoy! For those who can't read Chinese I will post the interview below, not all of the questions were used in the article but I'm going to post them all since I feel there were a lot of good questions.
