 | I've been an artist all of my life--starting with a correspondence course from Art Instruction Schools, then continuing to learn on my own. Drawing, painting,sculpture, airbrush illustration.
I self-published a comic called "TION:Autobiography of a Demigod" in my 20's around 1987, but I wasn't able to "break in" to the mainstream, so I worked in the photo-retouching industry airbrushing for 10 years, and doing art on the side. In 1999 I was introduced to digital art, Computer Aided Design (CAD), and animation.
I was a Designer and Creative Director at SMP Instore Marketing solutions for 15 years. I developed award winning displays for Jelly Belly Candy, Mizuno USA, Keebler, Lance, Sanford Uniball, Anheuser-Busch, Frito-Lay and Pepsico, to name a few.
I've been creating computer animation as Zandoria Studios™ since 1999. In 2004 I created visual effects for Bryan Michael Stoller's film "Miss Cast Away and the Island Girls". In 2014 I created an animated character "TAR of Zandoria", a hippopotamus barbarian in search of adventure, dancing girls and fruit punch!
I'm currently a freelance designer, creating digital character models for 3D printing. I am also developing a graphic novel based on my hippo character. |
