of Lightwave 3D and Photoshop Works
(Click on thumbnails to load full sized images)
Updated 7/13/07
Here you will find various samples of my graphics and 3D work over the last 25 years both as freelance graphic artist and employment as a Game Artist (low poly modeler, surface and texture artist, animator), also as a Visual FX artist (hi-res modeler, surface and texture artist, and animator) for a Special Effects Studio on animated TV series and film, and as a Lightwave 3D hobbyist.
I am proficient in the use of Lightwave 3D and Photoshop in a production environment, Microsoft Office applications, as well as applications for Web Development such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Cold Fusion, PHP, MySQL, etc. I am also proficient in the HTML/CSS languages and can develop Web documents from scratch in a simple text editor as well as from a WYSIWYG editor.
I have worked as an instructor for vocational colleges teaching MS Office Applications, Web Design, and PC/Networking Certifications, as a computer technician, network administrator, tech support representative, systems technician, and as a web designer and developer, but by far I enjoy most the creative work I have done for Game Development and for Visual Effects.
Welcome to my galley, and thanks for stopping by to visit!
