Work bio again

Just a little update and some work info/work bio. Because a lot of people have been asking, and well I think its about time I post some of that info.

I'm a freelance artist (self taught), as some of you might or might not know LOL. I have worked for a number of companies that have included: McFarlane Toys (2000-2001 as a lead designer creating various works including the Tortured Souls series 2 figures based off of Clive Barker stories, Images' 10th anniversary series, Kiss, Onimusha 2 series, a few McFarlane monsters, the Viking Ages series, just to name a few. While there I did some work for Capcom's Onimusha 2, designing a few weapons that did make it into the video game. I also have done designs for Diamond Select toys (marvel and movie properties busts and statues) Toybiz (spiderman designs) Bowen Designs. I've also been a Story board artist for an independent movie company (Archangel Productions.) I've had work printed in various magazines, most notably in American Health and Fitness magazine, for the movie poster to Re-Evolution (a concept movie inspired by the novel I am Legend). and a sold out issue of Kitbuilders magazine, where my drawing of Tomb Raider was featured as the cover. I've also had some pinup pieces in a few comics, including a sold out issue of BloodRayne. And I got to tell my original samurai story/art for the 6 page mini story in the pages of Project Eon# 3 by Markosia comics and Visionary comics. I've also done some paper back novel covers for Wings Press. Philip series paperback. I am currently doing covers for Blue water comics. ( Sinbad series 2 mini series and BlackBeard Legacy.) With more very important projects on the way. And yes a personal project a few of my friends know of that has been in the works for a little while now(sorry again guys I haven't been able to talk about it yet) I'll be posting up more work and info soon on all my projects in the coming months,

Stay tuned for more!
