My Training
Traditional training
My traditional training started back in 2001 while I was working as a Comic Book Artist in Irvine, California, for Marvel, DC, Image Comics, Top Cow Productions, Todd Mc Farlance Studios. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best Artists, on various titles including, Spiderman, Deadpool, WitchBlade, The Darkness, Curse of the Spawn, and many other titles. This was the foundation for me as an artist. Now I wanted to get into film production as a Concept Artist and started teaching my self digital painting and invested into Photoshop and a Wacom

Film Industry
I’ve started my Feature Film career in 2003 at Digital Domain as a Concept Artist. This was my first professional title as I’ve had no prior film experience, but quickly advanced in both the techniques of photo realistic concept art, matte paintings, and 3d modeling using Maya
At Digital Domain working as a Concept Artist, I’ve had the opportunity to design various sequences for “The Day After Tomorrow” feature film, including the tornado scene going through Los Angeles.
I left Digital Domain to join“Illusion Arts” where CEO Mr. Syd Dutton offered me a full-time position, and I’ve worked and studied under him for a couple of years on various Feature Film Projects as a Matte Painter
“Thank you Mr. Syd Dutton for having shared your knowledge, which helped me advance in my career as both a Concept Artist and Matte Painter
Some of his oil paintings I’ve personally studied for months. Seeing them in person was magical! Hard to believe how such realism could be possible to achieve, especially when these are all painted by hand.
