New Job!


Just got hired at Maxis (the Sims, Sim City etc.) as a weird combination illustrator/compositor/UI artist. 

I'll continue teaching at Ex'pression, and part timing at INSIGHT, and tutoring on the side. Which means I'm going to be very busy for the foreseeable future. 

Hopefully I can still carve time out for the occasional personal painting and figure drawing and plein air sessions.

Prime Character Paintings

I'm honored to have a few of my character paintings in 3D Total's new art book set "Prime". It's available for pre-order now, and you can preview all the pages by clicking on the preview tab and flipping the book open. Definitely the best compilation of contemporary digital art I've ever seen.

Monster Thumbnails




Wanted to keep my concepting skills sharp with a page of thumbnails for a character I'm designing.

Savage Beast







Wanted to paint a gross monster with dramatic portrait lighting. I ended up getting charmed by him half way through and making the piece slightly adorable, but maybe that's just me?
