X Men 2

I started working in Television in the mid 80's doing illustration work for KABC-TV in Los Angeles. This rapidly expanded into freelance Paintbox work which led to motion graphics work and TV visual effects throughout the nineties. In 2001 I transitioned into film visual effects and matte paintings working on X Men 2 at Cinesite in Hollywood which led to working on around 20 motion pictures while also still doing TV visual effects.
In 2010 I added gaming to my portfolio working with Big Fish Games in Seattle on their "Mystery Case Files" series. I returned to freelancing in April of 2017 and would love to work with you!
