A MTG card I painted from the new Final Fantasy set that is slowly being teased. I'm not sure why the character was edited out, maybe another version of the card is coming with her on it? Included are some of my sketches and the hilarious 2d original game ref that this final is based on! #mtg

From the Toei film Hypergalactic. This is one of the maquettes I made from Takao Noguchi's model. I painted the model built the base and electronics with a light below her scooter for extra punch! We used this at first to sell the movie to theaters, and the buyers loved this and the others.
Apainting I worked on from Hypergalactic, the Japanese/ Hollywood collaboration film I worked on a couple years ago as a production designer.
Facebook has become really frustrating and full of "pages to follow" with less and less actual friends. Now they are removing fact checking moderation. :|. If it gets like twitter I'll have to leave to probably stay here on Bluesky.

There goes our beloved ImagineFX magazine. I never minded ImagineFX publishing the materials I contributed over the years in special themed volumes or sketchbooks because it was of some help to me, but training AI no way. No artist will want to contribute anymore.
A couple of dentally challenged demon heads in procreate!

MTG Fallout set card number 2! This concept was super fun, but I think I prefer less staged kinds of cards to paint, though it was still a blast to do!
A Magic The Gathering card I did for the Fallout deck! This deck was great fun to work on even if I only did a couple cards!

Wading, a drawing from my gallery show in Paris in 2010. Colored pencil on rives BFK 11 x 20 inches
A fun Seussian village from the Lorax film. This was another surprise as I thought my designs were not used, but the village colors and shapes ended up a lot like this. I think things were less loopy and crazy, but there is a strong resemblance to my work in the end. Photoshop.
Disney's Treasure Planet spaceport design sketch. Pencil on paper. I liked the idea here where there are multiple levels within the port, but the final design is more flat in the end.
A rough line and final tone designs of the Benbow Inn for Disney's Treasure Planet. This was one of my first attempts at the look of the interior before arriving at the final look a few months later. I always like the coziness of this one, with the lower ceiling area bar.
New Orleans Burlesque poster painted in oils and colored pencils on Rives BFK paper. 36 x 48 inches
A little bit of the design process revealed from Jorge Garcia's Book of Life film. This is a few of the different sketches I did to come up with the final design- which is the more horizontal drawing with the characters. There is a little bit of each of these in that final.
