Instructing and mentoring the next generation of wicked, high end texture and shading artists. The emphasis is on texture development but we also touch on UV and Shading.

For the first project I worked on, using renderings of game models, we created a series of sweet high-end custom images for promotion use including three magazine covers. Then for a triple A game cinematic project. I surfaced and textured the characters, lit, rendered and created the visual concept and matte painting.

I'll have to say though, over the last four years bringing life and character to models through texturing and shading had to be my favorite.Some of the clients I produced artwork or assets for include; Hasbro, Mattel, MTV, Sony, D.I.C., King Features and NBC
