About me

Professional:

I am designer of living things for film,animation and games.. I am a sculptor who draws and a painter who sculpts...In my opinion there is a destinction between a designer and an illustrator. Although to be a designer you have to be able to illustrate but not all illustrators are designers and some Illustrators are far better at illustrating than any designer...Illustrators can fool producers with pretty pictures but not all designers are as fortunate and thus the fighting nature of a true designer. We are not politically correct in our manner or our ideas. But we are constantly searching for innovative ideas. We live in this world and are sometimes blinded and way too far in to be accessible to corporate art houses, Fx houses and studios of all kinds...My goal as a designer/illustrator is to always bring something new to the table and as little of "something that has been done" as possible..I guarantee this effort but not the final product.. that's up to you and how much you listen to me

Personal:

Originally from the East Los Angeles area in Calif. where I was born and raised. Work has recently been taking me away from the coast and inland with my wife of 34 years and our animals.

Artistically:  

 I have always gravitated towards the surreal, whether I was old enough to know what that was or not. The need to be original and unique, probably stemming from my childhood, where I would spend time daydreaming, made me seek out the weirdest and wildest things that an innocent minded kid could conjure up.... By adolecense my tastes were being split in 2 with the pop culture interest I had in film and my interest in fineart through surreal imagery and artwork from the rennaisance. After gratuating from high school I took life drawing classes at the local community colledge in preperation for an extended education at a big university,which never happened. I remember being asked for a self portrait and I didn't have an interest in simply drawing my face. So I drew the way I felt. My approach to that assignment really landmarked for me a mode in how I would handle future professional projects. Representational art wasn't my goal as an artist. Abstracting with form is how I make choices with my layouts and the designs of the elements that make up the layouts themselves. Inspiration for me is internal. The work on this site is the kind of artwork I make for myself. It comes from inspiration through my faith in Jesus Christ which is internal. My artwork is the external expression of my internal inspiration. I am still evolving with my personal work, thankfully...I see changes occuring with my work which are very interesting to me and hopefully to anyone who is interested. Even though I have a professional career that is roughly 37 years old..I don't feel like I've "arrived". On the contrary I feel like a perpetual student... always learning and needing to study..

Update Feb. 19th....

DateWednesday, February 19, 2014 at 12:18AM

Toward the end of the year I had to change all my settings regarding contacts for business and sales here ..It was a little crazy there for some customers but we got it all handled and we are all good to go again..we still have "Blind Spot"books available. We have a very limited amount of the Special editions left and more of the standard editions but still limited as well..

- As I predicted,  this time of the year, as it has in the previous years, would be the time that a heap of work would drop on me.. -and yup, here we go again..

- I did find the time however to get a couple pieces off to Spectrum this year...

Here are a couple of newer things ...

- an Interview I just did for my friends over at Mloveism

- Here are 5 new ipad recorded-process drawings and a repost with better quality.

- Lastly, here's some music stuff I make... The first I'll describe here are 16bar sketches done in "Figure",  for those of you in the know about lighter music app sofware...You'll find those in "Guppy" and "MPM40" albums....

Also The "Made-up" Prometheus score I did for myself called "Titan" and also a score I call "Dark Garden"about an adventure in a Megalopolis of the future....
