End of Term Update.....Ratatouille

A couple images from my Arch 2 final, the assignment was to create a characters dwelling from a film property that was never shown in the film. I picked Skinner from Ratatouille and developed his apartment/home. Stay tuned for more, i will be finishing up and organizing the rest of stuff from this project and the rest of term over the next couple days...

Mid-Term Update...

Here are a few things from my Architecture 2 project. i am still touching everything up and will add the rest sometime next week, i will also include the sketch/development work at that time. These images are for a proposed sequel to 'Bioshock'.

The first and third images are based on earlier studies that i had done from the LOC.

'The Journey Begins' 'The Mouth of Madness''Quiet, too Quiet...''Into the Belly of the Beast''Conquering your Demons''The Last Stand'Tech study and tram design'Alien Race' TeaserI was lucky enough to get to contribute some additional art, along with my buddy John Park, in the 'Alien Race' book coming out this summer from DSP. This is just a teaser (and probably not the final image) the others will remain *secret* till the book comes out, you can learn more about it HERE.

Now i will have more time to do my CDA homework, back to drawing mechs!

The IceQueen a.k.a. Big Mama
Collaboration with Daniel Simon and John Park

The last image is something i worked on over the summer for Daniel Simon's' book 'Cosmic Motors' which will be out next month. You can check out more of his work, and find out more about the book here http://www.danielsimon.net/index.html 0_0. You can also see more of John's work here http://jparked.blogspot.com/. It was an amazing experience to be able to contribute to the book and work with such a talented designer, it still hasn't really sunk in yet.

Also, changed the blog around a bit, the title was starting to feel a bit pretentious. Sorry for the delays between posts, there is just so much amazing work out there it gets a little intimidating. i want to make sure and (hopefully) contribute something worthwhile each time.

Thanks again for all the comments, i really appreciate it.

Old......New Update

hi everyone, i have delayed this long enough. here are a few pieces from last semester to get the ball rolling. cooler stuff soon, promise!

started my first art related job for the summer, really fun but not a whole lotta free time for personal work. i was in an artistic rut there for a while, but i feel like everything's back to normal, art is FUN again.

i will update with some personal work now and then, definetly something before Comicon.

thanks for all the comments, i really appreciate it.

Romeo and Juliet WIP

Miscellaneous work from last term...

I set up this blog to revive my 'artistic vigor' and push myself in new directions. Bear with me on the first few posts, it does not really reflect directions in which i desire to pursue.
