Fantasy & Horror Art

Spider Girl

2009-09-09T17:25:00.001-04:00

Starting with random images an ideas, I devised this piece through stock shots and the like. Teaching a new class at CCC about VFX has reawakened my interest in compositing and digital manipulation. I will be using matte paintings for my film, "The Defiled" and these exercises help hone my skills.

Photo Work Revisited

2009-09-09T17:20:00.001-04:00

I've been anxious about not working and started to rework and re-examine my art as a digital composite. Collage and painting have always been a love of mine so today I busted out three images and it felt great. Here's an advance look at a new piece.

Robocop Prime Directives

2009-09-07T21:53:00.001-04:00

Most people don't know that I directed this miniseries for The Sci-Fi Network. I was happy with the final result but it was sadly overlooked by the world. Who knows, with the way older titles are being rediscovered, I wonder hos long it will be before I am a sought after TV director again?!

Fish Eye Photography

2009-09-07T21:46:00.001-04:00

I started to experiment with Fish Eye lenses prior to the shooting of my latest film. It's a very specialized look. I enjoy it though. It just has to be for the right work. I could imagine making an entire film with this process s it is so unique. It seems to capture the way I see the world sometimes.

Church Interior

2009-09-07T21:43:00.001-04:00

My B/W fine art photography has fallen by the wayside as I make films and concentrate on art and teaching. I love making pictures.

Animated Film

2009-09-07T21:40:00.001-04:00

Am determined at some point to make a CGI film under my own power. I can render, create and tell stories but animation timing seems to be beyond me. I think I shall concentrate on learning how to do this during the winter break at CCC.

Squid

2009-09-07T21:38:00.001-04:00

Groboto is a new software for me to experiment with. I see it as a combination of fine art tool and a movie making opportunity. I shall update my work here as I streamline my website and use this as a repository for my art.

New Book Cover Illustration

2008-12-25T14:03:00.003-05:00

Here's the cover from my first book from the fine folks at Golem - they have me contributing to their website at www.constructinghorror.com. Look for this book - on directing horror films and how to make them - this 2009.

Text Test

2008-05-10T11:41:00.001-04:00

Text and BW images can be deceiving. Fonts can prove to be illegible.

Manga Studio Toned Output

2008-05-10T11:26:00.002-04:00

As I want to use Manga Studio for my upcoming Boudica story, I am looking at a 72 dpi web output here to see how it translates online. Although this image has been posted before, it is the sizing ratio and style I am most interested in.

As inspired by Frazetta as always.

Frazetta Rally - Dragon Duel

2008-03-09T21:04:00.002-04:00

This was once a failed painting. I love being able to reork in digital medium to revise, review and REPAIR!!! The model was damaged and his left arm and leg was too small - a mesh deformation I could not fix. I think it works okay here. Thank God for Painter and the ability to work in suggestion and shadow.

Frazetta Rally - Fallen Angel

2008-03-09T21:03:00.001-04:00

I've already posted a variation of this on this site earlier. here it is reworked for the contest.

Frazetta Rally

2008-03-09T21:00:00.001-04:00

Renderotica, an adult 3D website, is sponsoring a tribute to master artist Frank frazatta and I put together six paintings to honour his birthday last Feb. 7. He has a museum of his work in Pennsylvania. Check on 'Rotica if you aren't freaked out by XXX material. This stuff I am posting is mild compared to some of the fellow artists working online there. Their Premier gallery (a paid site) is awesome so I hear.
