I have always been interested in the arts, whether it is books, film, video games, or shaped by human hands. But I must admit I have a really soft spot for video games. I am inspired by everything from the classic artists to comic books heroes. Lately, I seem to be drawing my creativity from childhood experiences.
Professionally, my main art tools consist of Maya, 3DS Max, Zbrush, and Photoshop, although I am familiar with most of the industry programs and consider myself a 3D Character Modeler and Texture Artist. However I would not be the artist I am without the natural mediums. If there is a sketch group, or life drawing class you can find me there. Presently, I work in the CG department at Laika, and also as a freelance 3d artist.
Currently I reside in Portland, Oregon with my beautiful wife Catherine and our two small dogs. We are anything but tranquil, and always looking for an adventure.
My favorite game at the moment? Zelda Phantom Hour Glass! And while I consider myself a hard core gamer, watch out if you find yourself in a competition against me in Dr. Mario, or Mario Kart.
Please contact me if you have any questions about me or my art, or if you want my Wii code. Thanks for stopping by!
