Spider concept
This concept drawing is part of an ongoing project about the general relationship between humans and spiders and the encroachment of one species on another's home. "Bif" the spider in the sketch on the left is the self appointed leader of a small but courageous group.
Having a take no prisoners attitude these rambunctious critters are determined to recover territory that was once theirs before humans cleaned them out. As you can see he is more than willing to go eye to eye if need be.

Autism Spectrum Disorder Toy concepts and design
One of my passions in life is helping others succeed. Being a part of helping kids with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) reach their full potential in life is up there on my list. I decided one of the best approaches would involve designing a toy!
After designing and modeling the three dinosaur concepts you see on the right I found that I really enjoy creating toys which led creating rockets and colorful volcano..

Poe's X-Wing fighter: exploded view
Poe Dameron and BB-8
Wireframe and Color
Illustration above
I wanted to pay homage to two childhood favorites of mine, Star Wars and Legos. Hence my inspiration for this dream-like illustration.
Imagine you're driving down a long desert road and out of your window you see a fleet of X-Wing fighters out of the corner of an old billboard fly towards you.
Poe Dameron is there to direct the action while his trusty sidekick BB-8 is there to make sure all goes well. What could be better than modeling a 3D X-Wing fighter made with Legos.
Paying meticulous attention to all of the details right down to the size of the logo in each stud on top of eack brick was daunting but incredibly enjoyable!

Urban sports shoe concept and design
I designed a hybrid sports/urban street shoe concept out of a sheer desire to combine a typical basketball profile with my version of moving graffiti.
The objective: bold color design that spoke to the community with an immediate sense of street cred.
