Personal info:

People often ask, "What exactly is it that you do". I do a great many things, mostly visual, but essentially I look for good projects and good people to work with. I create what they need to achieve thier goals visually and functionally. I've been to the best schools (ACCD '95), worked with the best people and have had over 10 years in the business of illustration, design, graphics and communication arts. My clients include big names like, Dreamworks interactive, Corbis and Microsoft. But I also enjoy working with small businesses like Greenfield Citrus Nursery and Bomb Factory digital because of the intimate qualities I can lend to their needs.

This Site
What started out as a place to put my portfolio to show other art directors quickly became a testing ground for my abilities as a type designer, a place to give away tiles and information on color / web design, and even sell my artwork as limited editions to people who otherwise would never have known I existed. Buglight exists soley to get exposure and share the art I have generated over the years. I have made an effort to make my work accessable and as inexpensive as possible so that it could be available to most anyone who can appreciate it.

Built using Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Image Ready, and GoLive
on a Macintosh.

To Dwight Harmon,
a teacher and artist who taught us how to use
whatever medium we used to its fullest extent,
and a cool guy.

To Brad Durham,
a teacher with visionary sensibilities.

To Richard Bunkall,
who's painting and life are about as inspiring as it gets.
A quiet man of humility with awe inspiring work.

And finally to Steven Speilberg,
for his faith in my art direction and ideas, although the DWI site
was never seen as I intended, It was a great opportunity to pioneer
with the first team at Dreamworks interactive.
