Thanks to Nicole and Applibot for a fun assignment...

Here are a few development images for a story idea I've been tinkering with...

some recent quick sketches for fun:)

...more Thundercats color keys:)

Here are a couple of my Zbrush experiments with hard surfaces (which I quickly discovered to be really...hard)

This is the oil painting I contributed to the Drawing Dreams Foundation charity auction which will be held this March. If you're going to be in NY you should definitely check out the show, there's a bunch of fantastic illustrators participating who've donated some great pieces.

Here are a few concept sketches I did for Thundercats.

A little while ago I decided to take stab at Zbrush. Here are a couple of my initial experiments.

a couple recent pieces...

Here's some development work I did for the new Thundercats series a while back. It was a fun production with some really hard working dudes making it all happen. Just want to give a quick shout out to Dan, Ethan, Toshi, Will, Sean & Brian... hope you guys are well, congrats on the show:)

I'm horrible at updating this blog (apologies), since I wanted to post a thing about Dave's book I figure I'd better take the opportunity to put something else up (while I still remember my password). Here's something from my digital sketchbook, not too sure yet where this is going.

I want to thank my friend Patrick Awa (who happens to be an amazing designer btw) for inviting me to participate in this cool art auction to support the relief efforts in Japan. It's difficult at times to know how to react in the face of disaster. I'm honored and grateful to be able to contribute alongside a bunch of other talented artists in the spirit of compassion and aid. Here's the flier and a link to the Maverix Studios blog where you can see other amazing pieces being donated...


here's my little contribution...

Here's a piece I recently did for the Drawing Dreams Foundation. They have lots of fun and inspiring art on their website. I especially like the children's art:)

Hope everyone is doing well. Here's some goofing around with artrage & photoshop...

I recently had the opportunity to work with 2 of my favorite artists, Luis Grane and Max Graenitz, on this TV commercial. Max and Luis are truly amazing and they assembled an all-star team of animators for the project. For some crazy reason they asked me to help art direct and paint the backgrounds:) It was a blast.

After Imagi I took some time to decompress. These are a few of the initial painting experiments I did upon returning from my "walkabout".

Most of my time over the last three years was spent on the Gatchaman project at Imagi Studios. I'm extremely proud of the effort and dedication of everyone involved in making the film despite the outcome. I pulled these screenshots of the film from my friend Felix Ip's blog. Felix is an amazing individual, you should definitely check out his site when you get a chance, it's a treat.

Well, I'm ashamed to admit it's been 3 years since my last post. A number of excuses come to mind for my blogging inactivity but they all sound pretty weak when stated aloud. So if anyone besides my folks still visit, I apologize for my laziness. Here's a look at something I did recently. More to come:)

I've been pretty busy so I haven't had as much time as I would like for personal work. What little time I have had I've spent in search of style. My intention with this piece was to take some of my favorite artists' styles and blend them together. Didn't really know what to expect on this one.

Thought I'd put up a few pieces I did a while ago while I was working at Midway in San Diego on Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. This was my first time working on a video game and it was a great experience. I spent most of my time designing environments but on occasion they let me have some fun with characters. Loved working with the Gauntlet crew, hope you guys are doing well.

So I'm still getting used to this whole blogging thing. Apparently, the idea behind a blog is to continue to post new content, wow what a concept. Francis, Dave and I have begun work on a new book together. This is one of my early development pieces for it.

These are some panels from a comic I did a few months ago. This was part of a side project that I worked on with my friends Francis Tsai and Dave Wilkins. It's a privilege and an honor to work alongside two such immensely talented artists.
