Remembering those in need.

The line from the Christmas Carol "Do You Hear What I Hear?" is very fitting.

A child, a child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold...

These images are for a personal project that has been on the back-burner for years.  Heinrich Kley provides endless inspiration when doing Centaur poses. His stuff is incredibly animated.

Steel Horse


In the concept sketch above, I did not do any pre-designing and just started to pushing large shapes/geometries around.  Below are some images that I generated because some students asked me to show them how I rough together some Motorcycle concepts from scratch.


I always stress to my students in class, to having a clear design direction, from the very beginning of your design goal.  So even in the abstract (step 1) it is already obvious where things are headed. Keep drawing!

Hunger Games


I worked on this title briefly, had to generate a lot of work in no time at all.
 These were intended for quick studies of the Capitol.



 I also did some work for the Cornucopia, I will update soon.

Some of my favorite things


Some of my influences, Craig Mullins and Jordu Schell,
 were really swirling around the back of my head when I did this image.
Mullin's "Mass Effect 2" poster was the composition cake- I added different icing.

Princess Before & After

I have probably been watching too much Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones lately. Is there such a thing as watching too much of those titles- probably not. Any-who, here is my take on a Princess whose outer beauty becomes deformed...

CGMA Class

My CGMA class on Vehicle and Mech design is still open for enrollment. http://www.cgmwmasterclasses.com/vehicle-and-mechs-1.html .

Looking forward to seeing you there. This is a very dynamic class focusing aggressively on drawing and developing your personal design voice. I cover fairly advanced design philosophies so bringing basic drawing skills into this class will help, but I emphasize fundamentals for beginner students as well. Please open the door to see what is going on inside the class :)

The Strong

Louis Armstrong and a Mr. Michael Codd. One name might be familiar to you, but another one might not. Indeed they are both strong!Louis is a brilliant musician, and Michael Codd is a brilliant painter.

I happened to have the great privilege of viewing Mr. Codd's paintings in person (36" x 48 " gouache paintings- the man is for real!!!) and boy did I "hear the music".

So this one goes out to Michael Codd.


An exquisite chip off the block-
