  • The Last Resort Diorama. The Future Does Not Have Lawn Furniture!

    Below is one of the many dioramas completed throughout the years. This one is a little more crazy than normal. Made it for myself and not to resell. Not sure why they paint tribal patterns in the dirt in the near future, but I thought it looked awesome. I showed this diorama in an earlier…

  • Creating Art with My Son: An Angry Birds Journey

    Art work I created for a short animation starring the Angry Birds. This wasn’t a professional project, but one I worked on with my, then, 5 yr old son (who is is now 16 years old and better at 3D than I am). The final Angry Birds film. I’m pretty sure the film won’t be…

  • Painting Walls and Floors For A living!

    Below are samples of my texture work from various game projects. I created all the artwork shown below.

  • The Last Outpost, Stay Off My Lawn!

    A diorama created originally to show of customs. The theme was a steampunk styled outpost in the wasteland. These dioramas change over time,. This particular scene has had a lot of grass and greeery added. The outpost model was made from a shack model, adapted for my needs. The shack owner has his pet alligator…

  • Sabrina vs The Sugar King Interations

    The first image below is a photo of an image I made waaayyy back in my college days. The image was made with acrylic paints & colored chalk. The original is about 4 ft. X3ft. It was a phase I went through, I was a huge fan of the surrealists and post modern work of…

  • Hotwheels Toy Fair Exclusive Porsche.

    I don’t share much from my collection here, but this one deserves a little time. For the diehards, you’ll recognize this as a pretty hard to find price. Is going up for auction soon, it is too expensive to keep around. Ironically I won this, not for a custom or diagrams contest, but for winning…

  • Creative 3D Art: A Gallery of Student Masterpieces

    First and very important: I did not create any of the artwork in the gallery below. These are examples of artwork created by my students or in programs I managed at the time. Over the years, I’ve taught or written classes in 3D modeling, 3D Environmental Design, Video Game Environments, Video Game Engines, basic design,…

  • Scooby Doo: A New Doo

    This was one my favorite games to work on. WACs a GameBoy Advance game (I think I remember that right). One of the only tile based games I created art for. Tile based games were a common way to make games for handheld devices that didn’t have very much onboard memory, so the art assets…

  • The Extinct Texture Artist

    Long ago, an awkward creature existed that neither fit into the art community nor was fully computer literate. This creature was called a texture artists. Texture Artists happily toiled away their days making art for videos, specifically art to be spoiled to polygonal objects, like characters or environmental assets. I was one such creature. For…

  • To Infinity And Beyond!… Wait, That’s Not Right.

    Sooo, I worked as an artist on quite a few Star Trek video games. Not the really good ones that were released later, but the bad ones that everyone wants to forget about. My experience with Star Trek is fun to talk about. I took a job at Interplay Entertainment to work on a game…
