Traditional painter turned digital illustrator and 3d artist. Intrigued by all things design, my passion for creatures and monsters reigns supreme. Work in Graphic Design and CGI Photography has led me to premium brands like Lindt Chocolate.
Exploring a hand-painted stylized texture to try and make a fun cartoon aesthetic. I think the added hand drawn line work gives it some nice character.

Time to start to bring this dragon to life!

I’m sure that Jurassic World Rebirth is going to be a fun movie, but I am disappointed that the big bad creature of the film is another Clover clone. They could have designed a truly something original or brought the ultimate dinosaur to the franchise.

Taking some inspiration from Jurassic Park; how terrifying would it be to try and hide from a dinosaur like Torvosaurus.

Warming up with a little Stegosaurus

I love working in Zbrush, but I don’t quite understand why subscribed users also need to subscribe to the IPad version. I also don’t understand why monthly users get penalized for paying month to month, but it is what it is. Off to more Zbrushing!

Sorcery's Tufted Turtle is a fan favorite creature, and here are some early concepts that I created for the creature. Showcasing its unique mixture of turtle and tortoise features, combined with a plant covered shell that gives it a unique silhouette.

I grew up with Dinotopia, and I wanted to explore that world myself. I imagined a kid riding through the forest atop an Arrhinoceratops gathering fireflies.

Here are some of my favorite paleoartists that I follow. They all do some pretty incredible work.

A few years ago there was an art contest for a famous Colorado Triceratops specimen named Pops that I based this reconstruction on. It was my first foray into HD Geometry and I learned a ton about the benefits and frustrations when working with it.

I sketched out this winter dragon portrait a few years ago, then early on in my Zbrush journey I attempted to sculpt it. I think now is a good time to revisit this character and give it the treatment I just wasn’t skilled enough to do at the time.

I’ve always been fascinated with Torvosaurus. I remember being hooked when I heard Dr.Bakker described the Jurassic giant. He described the frightening beasts massive arms, giant claw, and long blade-like teeth.

I’ve been doing a ton of 3D work lately, but I want to start to reintroduce some oil painting time back in. Do you go through cycles of what kind of art you’re creating, because I definitely do? This is Egg Thieves, a large oil painting I did several years ago.

Up from the depths. Thirty stories high. Breathing fire! His heads in the sky. #Godzilla #creature

I had the privilege of being one of the artist to illustrate cards for Sorcery:Contested Realms. The Winter River is one of my favorites! I liked the challenge of injecting some subtle color into the cold scene.

Always thought Dilophosaurus didn’t get it’s just due in Jurassic Park Universe. It was a polar bear sized hatchet-headed beast.

Sometimes a simple start can lead to a pretty epic conclusion!

Hi everyone, I’m fascinated by all things art and design. I also like to make dinosaurs!
