"CALLING ALL CARS!" has gone GOLD (PS3)


Hey Guys and Gals,

The game I Art Directed... well was the acting Art Director, has finally gone GOLD! That's right, GOLD! It has some pretty good reviews considering it was a small game that focus more on the multiplayer/party game smack talk kinda game. Nonetheless, it was a blast working with David Jaffe, the GOD game desiger, and his super Senior Designer side Kick Adam Orth.

The game will be coming out only as a Playstation downloadable (PSN). For a couple of bucks a pop, I think the game is darn worth it.

Check out the reviews at:

Interview with 2DArtist

Here's an interview I did with the online magazine 2DArtist, published by Zoo Publishing. Their questions were geared towards my career as a video game artist, and why I chose the gaming industry in particular. However I must warn you that there are some typos because the publishers never got my edited version... I think their servers were swamped. Nonetheless, it should still be a fun read.

Enjoy...
On another note, here's a painting tute I created for a friend. It's just a 10 sec anim of the dumbed down steps I take to paint. Nothing spectacular since it's only a demo.

Crossing Hands Completed!!!


I finally completed Gary Lam's Crossing Hands training, otherwise known as Level 1. This level covers all the fundamentals of the Siu Nim Tao (1st form), Chum Kiu (2nd form), Biu Ji (3rd form), all the crossing hand techniques, the Wooden Dummy form, and a ton of Chi Sao (sticky hands). What's also cool about receiving this plaque, is that it gives me added hit points in a real fight:)... simply slip it underneath my shirt and voila!... more HP to my body:). But seriously though, the certificate is pretty much useless, unless I ever plan on teaching one day. It's just credentials, and it doesn't make anyone a better fighter.
