Latest matte sketch for the thesis... had a good friend Erik Hancock sketch up a concept for the mountain and Krampus headquarters...then I added color and layout
I was working on some drywall and the dust was getting a little much ..So I decided to take a break & do a quick digital painting of my wife........kinda spur of the moment so all I used was a blurry reference and just went to town on photoshop...about hour and half! :)
A short demo reel I put together of my work so far at AAU,..for my MPR (mid-point review),..I feel it went well and I'm approved to move forward with my thesis!
An artist who creates just about anything in any medium,..I received a BFA in illustration from the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. I took continued courses in sculpture and film,..After working at a local prop shop in traditional media for a few years. I decided to head back to school to pursue a masters in visual effects and digital media.
An accomplished art and design professional, I have provided services to a broad range of entertainment sectors; most recently in developing props, backdrops, and graphics for Spark Theater. Also developed traditional and digital matte painting for Milwaukee Productions.
This blog is dedicated to the work I do from traditional medium to the digital realm. If ever your in the need of my services please feel free to contact me at
