Post E3 - It's announced... finally.

Here are the games I'm currently working on... well the announced ones that is.

I started working on "Twisted Metal" (PS3) even before "Calling all Cars!" ever started, which was 2006. Next thing you know, a few years later, I'm back on the project helping out with the project's greenlight pitch and some concept work.


Below on "Sorcery" for the PS3, the game studio The Workshop is doing some pretty amazing things with the Playstation Move. My involvement for this project was to help with the greenlight pitch and provide art direction along the way.

CDA Summer 2010 Classes - Vehicles and Mechs

I'm back from a nice long vacation and ready to rock it out with a new group of hardcore concept art enthusiasts. Why hardcore you ask? It's a 10 week course taking place on Saturday nights! Classes start June 5th. Can't wait.

BAFTA Video Game Awards - flOwer PS3

"The visually stunning FLOWER won this year’s Artistic Achievement BAFTA. Lauded by the jury as a ‘triumph… that could only ever exist in the interactive medium’, the game takes players on a swooping journey through beautiful, dreamlike landscapes."

I guess I must be doing something right:). That Game Company is already an insanely talented and innovative group, I'm just glad I got to help them with art direction from the publisher side... more like art guide early on the project than actually directing, really. Also, much props goes to George Weising for some heavy lifting on the design front.

Below is a sample of the stuff I did on the project. More at:

Class is over! Bitter Sweet...

Thanks to those who spent their Saturday nights attending my class. I had a blast and I hope to see you all some day.

On a side note, check out this sweet award I received from GameArtisans.org!!! Thanks Fred! It was for the image below. I guess I'll slowly get back into creating art. It's been too long I haven't done anything for myself.

Teaching Time - Vehicle and Mechs

Here's a new brochure for my class:

It's teaching time again. I'll be teaching the Vehicle and Mech classes this spring at the Concept Design Academy. For more information, check out the brochure below. There are a tone of great classes offered. I wish I can take them all. Droooool.
