  • About:

    I'm a big fan of Survival Horror games and I enjoy trying to come up with creatures that are disturbing and hopefully different. I draw alot of inspiration from certain elements within nature and anatomy. Mostly skulls , skeletons, insects and sea creatures.




    I try to incorporate bits and pieces of these elements to help bring a "believability" to the idea. Hopefully the viewer can then be convinced that this creature could have or does exist somewhere. Nuances and attention to detail can go along way in making your image pull off such a thing.









    I have actually been told my ideas are "too out there" I don't know if I should take that as an insult or a compliment. Probably the latter









    Music is also a great inspiration in my life and the emotions that come out of certain songs often fuel my twisted visuals.

    Love your work man. Very different and original from about 90% of the stuff here. Hope to see a lot more of it in the future.

      Hey thanks , it means alot to me to receive encouraging words as I've been bummed out lately about being out of work. You have some slick stuff yourself. A few of your pieces remind me alittle of comicbook artists Brian Stelfreeze and Jason Pearson.

        Hang in there man, talent like yours should get work in no time. BTW, were you with Raven or were you contracting for them? There might be an opening at Insomniac or Blizzard these days if you don't mind living in CA. I can also recommend a good head hunter for you.

    Hi Michael, I was searching for other wisconsin artists and came across your stuff. Absolutely killer! Sadly I've never been to Middleton where all these creatures live.
