What's A Gobo?

I was talking to a fellow animator, telling him about Gobo's in lighting. How very easily you can add someing as simple as a fractal map to a light and immediatly add interest to your 3D scene. The top image is lit without a gobo. The bottom with.

Clearly Green

Ever since I saw the Broadway musical "Wicked" I've been worndering if Elphabas green was only skin deep. This chunk of flesh was discovered in the cracks of the Winkie castle floor where the witch was melted. Now I don't have to wonder any more.

Mason Scott

Here is a painting done the old fashioned way, done in acrylic on gessoed masonite. It is for my grandson to be hung in his room.

Delta 7

These 2 logos are just part of the work I have been doing for Delta 7 sports.







For the past 2 months I have been creating art for t-shirts, brochure, booth graphics, a video and other marketing materials for the Arantix a innovative mountain bike frame. You can see more of it at http://www.delta7sports.com/.

Leaping Lion

I have been crazy busy with loads of projects and haven't had time to post for awhile. I should get a few up in the next week. This lion was used on t-shirts, Payson High School.

Qi Robot

I had an idea, a story board, and a sketch. I got most of the modeling done on this character when the project got canceled. I finished the character anyway. Here he is in all his robotness glory.

One funny thing about him is the reaction of some of the people I work with when they see him. One person said he looked like one of the robots from the movie "Robots". Hmmm! OK. Another said his mouth reminded him of Rustboy. I pointed out to him that Rustboy doesn't even have a mouth. My opinion is that this guy is so bizzar that they are not sure weather they like him. But they want to make some kind of intelligent comment about him. I think he turned out pretty cool and he would have been great in the short he was to star in. Oh well, next month I'll probably get the green light on him.

"Qi Eater Robot" is copywrited by Neways International

Dragon Sketch

I was inspired by an amazing illustrator Kevin Wasden www.kevinwasden.com/ who said I needed to put up some sketch book images. So here is one from my recient book.
