Art for "Simply Begin Again" an album from ALESSANDRO FADINI & JOSIAH BOORNAZIAN. The concept for the image is that a human explorer has found a Bracewell probe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracewell_probe) whose purpose is to seek out intelligent life and assist these organisms in transcending physical matter through the sharing of its massive store of collected knowledge after travelling for millennia across the cosmos.

“Maybe this bit of art I made for ENFORCE LO-FI will serve as a break from all the current horror. The sun still shines, folks. https://t.co

Watched John Carpenter's The Thing again the other night and felt inspired to do some film studies of it. I love this shot when MacReady feels totally alone against the horror for the first time. Anybody have there own favorite scene from the film?

Animation by the Enforce Records crew. Total Bioshock inspiration overload :) Thanks to the 3D community at large for providing the free architectural models that made this one easier to deal with

"Welcome to Xoviion" by Johnny Neurvine Cover Art

Cover art for "Welcome to Xoviion" by Johnny Neurvine. The author requested a classic "Tomorrowland" vibe for the city. I didn't use any 3D here, pure perspective drawing as I like to suffer sometimes :) Copyright © 2019 by Itinerbury

Happy to be able to show some work completed quite a while back! The author liked two of my previous pieces and we decided to blend them together as they fit the themes of his book quite well. Available for purchase at: shorturl.at/behFL

Art for the soon-to-be-released next album of Dark City Agent, "The Witching Hour"! This was fun and feathers were a challenge, but in the end our cyberwitch came along nicely.

Some experiments using MagicaVoxel renders as a base for Photoshop paintings. The program is very fun to play around with and I hope to see it develop more. Feel free to use these as wallpapers. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1nxzLL

I was commissioned for 6 images to grace the cans of individual Double India Pale Ales by Southern Tier Brewing Company to be released bi-monthly over 2018. Each image is a snapshot of an unfolding sci-fi tale conceived by Art Director/Brand Manager Nathan Arnone and myself. The images steadily grew in intensity up to the final over-the-top release of #6, which is available now. All the brews were highly rated and well received. Thanks to all at STBC who had their hands in the production of these. It was a lot of work to get these labels on the cans!
