Watchers

Hi All,
Thanks Again for all the support I have received from everyone at DA. It's been about a year since I have updated my website and deviant account but herer is what I've been up to !. As of September 2010 I have been with Pixomondo Visual Effects. I started as a pre-vis modeler where I worked on the end sequence for Super8 and Journey to the Center of the Earth2. I was so happy to finally be working in film and pre_vis was a good way to get experience  on how a production environment works.  I suppose they were impressed enough with my work that John Perenteau ( The Head Honcho at pixomondo, and maybe the most awesome person I have ever worked for) Asked me If I wanted to get involved in a television show with Dinosaurs called Terra Nova. My reply" What are you f$@#ing  serious!, Hell Yeah!!! I have been studying dinosaurs since I was a child.  Neville Page had done  the concept sculpts for the Carnataurus, Brach , and the slasher and I went over the pieces and detailed the crap out of them. I takes a while to get a sculpt ready for animation. Kevin Blank ( VFX Supervisor on Terra Nova) Loved the work I did enough that I was allowed to design the Dnos for the rest of the show and be The Senior Modeler supervisor at Pxomondo. I also got to work on the opening sequence for The Green Lantern and small bit on Hugo. Also bee on the lookout for season 2 of Game of Thrones ( I did something for that but its still top secret!) . All in All What a year its been. I got to work with my idol and now friend Jack Horner ( the worlds preeminent Paleontologist) and lived out a fantasy I've had my whole life.

Sorry to all who have been inquiring about statues and stuff but I am not making collectibles right now. Maybe I'll do it again but film is my real passion.

In the next few weeks I hope to post up some of my film projects, I ll talk more after I post pics (If anyone really cares)

Till Then Happy New Year!

You are by far one of the best sculptors I've ever seen. Have you ever heard of a game called Shadow of the Colossus? It would be absolutely amazing if you sculpted one of the colossus. Would you consider selling something like that if you sculpted it?

I wish I could find your female sculpts.

Thanks for sharing.
