/ Concept Artist / Art Designer

About Me

I'm a Concept Artist, Art Designer, and a makeup & FX designer. I work in Film, Television, and the Themed Entertainment Industry. I also dabble in screenwriting, and producing my own short films and art films. Feel free to take a look in my gallery of pictures to see examples of some of my work.

My Interests

Fine Arts, Extreme Films, Cult Films, Documentary Films, and culture jamming.

I'd like to meet:

Other Producers, Directors, and artists working in the film, Themed Attraction and entertainment industry.

Music:

I'm not a big follower of contemporary music. For more details please visit my personal myspace page.

Movies:

I'm drawn to films with elaborate visual style and detail. I enjoy being shocked and surprized by cinema. I find documentaries and mock-umentaries are very enjoyable. A more elaborate listing of my cinema interests is avalible on my personal page.

Television:

TV is the new opiate of the masses. I try to avoid it unless I feel there is something going on in the television medium that will inform my work (professionally and artistically).

Books:

I read lots of nonfiction and various text books. Once again a sampling of literature which I enjoy is viewable on my personal page.

Heroes:

Probably a load of folks that most people wouldn't know. You can read a list of some of them on my personal myspace page.
