Bus Stop Girl
A painting I did in college but never gave the same presentational presence as the other pieces in my portfolio, because I was always annoyed by technical problems with it's perspective, proportion, anatomy etc.
My abilities in those regards finally matured enough for me to be able to analyze and fix those issues So here it is re-worked and presented without hesitation.
Though It's been so many years since college, that I now can't help but wince at the indulgent preoccupations this piece clearly gives evidence of my life and sensibilities then. Oh well.

Art Tests!
I've been in talks with a number of different game companies over the last three months about positions ranging from art director, 3D environment artist, concept artist, texture artist etc. My last experience with art tests were years ago, and apparently it's roll in the hiring process is very different now. It seems companies can be a bit more choosy, and administer art tests to multiple candidates at a time, irregardless of experience, portfolio content, etc. Causing a pretty big time sink, wasting lots of artists time.
So below are some of the results to a number of different art tests for various positions at various companies. None of the tests led to me being hired, and you can see that by the last art test I became so disillusioned that I spent two hours on it and it shows. I'm going to focus on updating my reel and portfolio over the next few months and not do any more art tests for the foreseeable future.

Paris Super 8 Short
Finally after three years, I scanned and edited the super 8 footage I took of paris. Most of the footage comes from the "National protest day", where you apparently take to the streets to protest whatever you feel like...
