3-D Rendering done by a modeler. I finished it in photoshop by adding photo's, using levels, color balance, and some magic.

Friends

I have a weird sense of humor (as my friends tell me). You almost have to be weird to be an artist, or how else would we come up with new ideas. As a Designer you have to court social discomfort and stare awkward moments back in there face.

I tend to make up nicknames for all my friends and here a few images I did of them. Done on 3 by 3 inch wood cuts using acrylic and mixed media.

Quick Sargent Study of Almina. About an hour and a half.

Electric Fields and currents power this city making it come to life.  

Abe Lincoln- Quick sketch, about 2 hours.

Stan Winston studios are trying to make a movie involving a very mean Bigfoot.This is my Bigfoot concept. A mean mo-fo Bigfoot about 7-8 feet tall 400 lbs.

Here's a great link a friend sent me for drawing or creating any pose you can think of.
I'm sure i'll be using it soon...

A Concept Piece I did at work for Lennar Homes. Cal State Fullerton's new Campus on the old El Toro's Naval Base.

This is the fruit from the tree.  The seeds are star shaped in the book, so I designed the fruit to mimic that motif.  It's kind of a blend of a star fruit and pomegranate.  If eaten the fruit will offer rejuvenating benefits to your health.  

Didn't want to show people in the scene, but wanted to show the death of poachers by the Black Panther.  So I used there mangled riffle to show the wrath and force. 

A show down at the base of the Tree between the infamous jaguars and Marcus.

Marcus slipping and falling down into a river where he is swept away inevitably getting lost in the Forest.

Bushmaster snake! One of the most venous snakes in South America.

Java

Java is a Black Panther and is king of the jungle.  He plays the enforcer of the all who come in his path.  He is rivaled by two jaguars competing for rights over his land. 

These cup like leaves from the tree hold clean drinkable water in a very tainted South American Rainforest where good water is hard to find.  Be careful though, the toxins in the chlorophyll seep into the water and will make people sick.  The hallucinogenic properties make you understand what the animals are saying!  

Secret of the Tree

Some chapter heading illustrations for a book I'm working on.
