Founder/Director, Gnomon

Returning to Singapore in December!

Well, looks like I'm off to the other side of the world again next month! I've been invited to speak at the Entertainment Design Masters Showcase, Dec 12 + 13, along with Neville Page, Scot Drake and Feng Zhu. If you live in that part of the globe, it sounds like something worth checking out! More info here.

Interview with me in 3dcreative magazine!

3dcreative The good folks at 3Dtotal were kind enough to ask me to do an interview for their downloadable PDF magazine, 3D Creative, which was just released. The article has a bunch of my work and images of the Gnomon campus and they were kind enough to give me a bunch of space... 17 pages! Thanks to Tom, Lynette and Rich for your interest!

Their mag really has a lot of great content... I highly recommend getting a subscription. :)

Here's a link to the PDF of the article, file size is 22MB, which you can view in a browser or right click and save as:  click here

me on the Carson Daly show?

carsondaly_alex Pretty unexpected, but I got a call a couple weeks ago from the Carson Daly show wanting to spotlight me and Gnomon! They came to Gnomon last week to interview me and film the school. It aired a couple nights ago and it turned out pretty cool! Just ignore Carson's embellishments in the beginning. I am not one of the best creature designers in the world. heh.

Draeke: Spectral Harbinger of the Orbital Guild

Just finished a new image thanks to catching a cold and being away from work for a couple weeks. heh. I've added it to the 3D Artwork page with a link to a high-res version... as that's how it is intended to be seen. Now it is time to do a big print! I just wish I could display it on a framed 40" vertical HD screen as that would just be so much better than paper...
