Whats New:
Im working on several new projects right now, all of which are aimed to grow and expand my creative skills.  I am learning 3d modeling/animation, and doing some digital painting and drawing within Photoshop.  I hope to have some new pieces added soon.

I made the switch from PC to Apple and got a Mac Pro!  Im excited to get into using it and will be one piece of equipment that will be used for many years to come.  One nice thing is that it is quite a bit more powerful than my past machines and should keep up with my 3d modeling and computing intensive projects.

My Online Portfolio:

• Film/Animation
• Drawing
• Painting
• Web Design
• Sketchbook (coming soon)
