I recently did an interview with Dario Bolivar of Red Académica de Diseño (RAD), a Columbian association of art/design/illustration graduates, teachers and students from the country's universities.
We talk about my path into a career as a concept artist, working in the industry, as well as my personal art.
You can watch the interview on Facebook here.
Or on Youtube here.
Towards the end of the interview Dario ’s internet drops out for a few minutes, but he triumphantly returns to finish things off.
Thanks to Dario and RAD for the opportunity!
I’ve re-opened the print shop on my website! New prints of more recent works and older prints are on sale for up to %30 off! All prints are high quality limited edition giclees that are signed and numbered. Check them out on my website here.
A couple years ago I worked on this cool little adventure game/technology demonstrator called Titan. I was mainly doing character design work and I only worked on it part time, as I was also working full time at NLG/Nintendo. It was a fun little project…and the design freedom was a great balance to the more rigid confines of the Nintendo work. Unfortunately after several months the cheques stopped coming in and emails went unanswered…….and I was done. From what I heard the whole project collapsed several months later. It was a shame……I would have loved to have designed more of those robots! Anyways, here are a few pieces, and a larger selection of the work can be seen here.
“The Cocoon”, another piece from my series EK2 - The Lost Years was used as a cover image on issue #364 (Jun. 2020) of sci-fi magazine Galaktika. As with the last cover, the image was use on both the standard size and the larger "XL" edition.
Thanks again to Réka at Galaktika and Metropolis Media.
“The Navigator”, a new piece from my series EK2 - The Lost Years was used on the cover of issue #358 (Jan. 2020) of long running Hungarian sci-fi magazine Galaktika. The image was use on both the standard size issue and the larger "XL" edition.
Thanks to Réka at Galaktika and Metropolis Media.
My piece “Halo” was used as a cover image for issue #159 (Dec. 2019), of Clarkesworld Magazine. Clarkesworld is a Hugo and World Fantasy Award-winning science fiction and fantasy magazine that features original fiction stories, articles and author/creator interviews. Available in ebook, podcast, and print editions.

I'll be participating on the judging panel again for this years edition of The Rookies, an international awards competition for artists, designers, animators and creators. Entries are now closed, having had to have been submitted by May 31st, 2019 (I’m late in posting this…..been too busy to keep up with posting this kind of thing!). Every year The Rookies hand out a bunch of great prizes and paid internships to some of the top studios in the field. If you missed it this year, keep an eye out for next year’s competition.
Winners are to be announced mid July 2019!

My first art book is out of print! My publisher, Design Studio Press, has sold all their copies. There are a still a few new and used copies kicking around on a couple Amazon sites and there may be some available at different book retailers, but that is it. Japanese publisher Born Digital bought the rights to this book, so they may still have some of the Japanese language softcover edition in stock, and may publish more in the future, but the English hardcover edition is out of stock.
Thanks to everyone that bought a copy of the book, and a special thanks to all that purchased signed copies from me personally as well.
I’ll have to get started on the next one……
I’m a little late posting this…(too much going on these days)….but first edition Duchess kits are out! Thanks to Michael at Industria Mechanika and Gene Campbell for making an awesome sculpt of the design. Plus, thanks to everyone that bought this huge kit!. Happy building!
Second edition Duchess kits are available for pre-orders here.
The Duchess is now available for pre-order from Industria Mechanika! This 1/6th scale resin kit was designed as a companion to the popular Dystopic kit. Amazingly sculpted by Gene Campbell! Shipping March/April 2019.
Here is a pic of a holiday/moving card I did for G.L.Smith Planning & Design in Toronto. They were moving into new offices in the same building so we went with a theme of busting through the floor into their new space. Add in a few holiday touches and it doubles as their holiday card. Not very traditional.....but it was a lot of fun.
Thanks to Matthew Smith!
Another edition of Dystopic model kits are being released and are available for pre-order at Industria Mechanika.
Available at the IMech shop here.
Shipping February 2019.
Here is a link to build of this kit from Tested a few years back.
Even though I’m slammed with concept design work on 2 different projects with 2 different companies (plus the occasional 3rd contract in the mix…), along with kids and other family priorities, I do still manage to get a personal piece in there once in awhile. Here is a new(er) one I found some time to finish off.
Higher res. and additional images on my Art Station page here.
While I’d like to spend more time on this stuff, it will have to stay on life support at the moment….
Enjoy!
Couple shots of the Duchess master print ......showing off Gene Campbell's amazing sculpting work. This one turned out great. 3D printing of the master sculpt was once again handled by Des at Ownage.
Coming soon from Industria Mechanika! I’ll post the dates once I get them from Michael at Industria.
