The following is a bit sappy but it's that time of year, ya know. So you're warned and I won't think less of ya for skipping the journal.

Wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for dropping by my little DA spot. I also would like to thank my mom and dad for the years of support (both known and unknown). I'd also like to thank them for the time we have left, I know it's not long but I'll make the most of it. I would like to thank my boss for putting so much faith in my ability (here's hoping it's not misplaced). I'd like to thank my friends, whom I never get to see but value more than I can ever say. I'd like to thank all the artists I've come in contact with, you inspire me and without you, I wouldn't be the artist I am today.

Lastly, take hold of your family or your friends and give them some love. You won't have them around forever, so make sure you let them know you care while you can.

- okay, sappy time is over. Bah Humbug and all that.

I'm meant to tell you about who I am in this teeny tiny little box. That's so going to happen...

Anyway, I'm a early 30's, self taught 2d/3d artist working for a software company. I did some freelance work at LEGO (yes, the toy company) when I was in my twenties. During that time I also had a small company I ran with a friend called Lords of Image, in which we would create album covers for Penalty Records. Though we no longer do album covers, my friend and I are working on a comic in our spare time.

What other things can I say? Hmmm... AH! I'm loyal to a fault. I'm one of those guys everyone likes for no apparent reason (that I can see anyway). I'm single. I work at home and I work very long hours...which is probably why I'm single. I'm a sucker for a woman with pretty eyes. Animals love me and I have a nephew that I help take care of after school (he'd kill me if I used the word babysit).

I'm a big fan of comics, movies, tv, books, sarcasm and irony. I used to write poetry and short stories (even won an award or two). I've met and/or had lunch with a President, a governor, two mayors, Yogi Bera and a few actors all before I finished High School - turns out they're not all that thrilling.

Artistically, I love Norman Rockwell, Alphonse Mucha, and a ton of comic book artists. When I was about 12 or 14 (it was an even year, I just can't remember which), I created a character named Wildfire I showed off to Erik Larsen and Rob Liefeld that looked an awful lot like Deadpool before he existed. Four months later Deadpool appeard in the New Mutants and to this day, I like to think I inspired his look (though I think it more coincidence seeing how long it takes to get a comic book printed).

So that's some info about me that while informative, doesn't really tell you anything about who I am. I can only hope that what you've learned was interesting. Catch ya later.

Hey man, how's it going. Have you done anything for Content Paradise latelly? are you even still working for them?
:iconthe-3dartist:
Things are going well, I guess. Smith Micro has me under lock and key right now, working on a very big project. Not sure if it'll be on CP or not though.
:iconfydbac:
Very inspiring work, can't wait to see more!

I actually looked at that today after looking at your Batman image. Do you have MS debut or the EX version? I'm unsure of which would be best. Quite a cost difference!

Because you're going to end up there anyway...
:iconthe-3dartist:
I have EX. There's some additional features I need for work in EX that Debut just doesn't have. However, for most things, Debut is fine. :)
:iconstoobytoons:
Hey, cool! I love your Zbrush models!
So, there was a mix up, eh?
