CGMW Vehicle Design Class

Things are really taking off in the CGMW class. Certainly hope to see more and more come fly the "friendly skies" of CONCEPT-DOM as it applies to Vehicles and Mechs!!!

Teaching at CGMA

I am going to be teaching a Mech and Vehicle Concept Design class at the CGMA. Very happy to be teaching another group of talented artists while drawing what I love Robots and Space-ships!

Jazz culture = Art fodder

There is an era of amazing photography of all the jazz greats. A Smokey Lounge will always set the tone.

Some friends and colleagues have a wonderful Concept Art school, Red Engine. They gave me the honorary invite to be a member of their galley show, along with other very talented artists and colleagues.

The works are to be a collective show based off of the Red Engine themes. What better color for a power machine, like a LOCOMOTIVE than the power color, RED! I love locomotives so despite all the crazy deadlines I had to put in some midnight oil to get this one out! I actually like this piece which is a rare thing for me to say- I usually can't stand the sight of my own work after I am done with them. Not this one though- glad I could contribute to the show!

Tropic Thunder

a journey into the jungle...some studies of an island storm.

The Somber Impaler

An impaler gets introspective....Awwww.

Othello

"I will wear my heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at". A great Shakespeare line.

The awesome Laurence Fishburne playing against a brilliant performance by Kenneth Brannagh as sinister Iago- Good stuff!
