THIRD EARTH VISUAL ARTS

I just finished a painting for Ade Mainor from Electrofunk/Submerge Recordings. It is always nice to have a chance to paint sci-fi concepts in a big painting! I hope he likes it!

World famous Detroit House DJ/Producer Rick Wade, mixed the CD soundtrack for my artbook collaboration with Shinichiro Watanabe.

One of my most personal dreams has come true. I have now worked with one of the greatest directors of Japanese animation, Shinichiro Watanabe.  Our project is called, “Requiem for a Machine Soul”. Featuring 10 paintings from me and a wonderfully written story by Shinichiro. After reading it, I found it no surprise that he is an animation genius.
