EK RESIN MODEL KITS - END OF AN ERA……FOR NOW……

After years of being available from Industria Mechanika, these EK resin model kits have been retired. They remained popular, with the last edition runs selling out in the spring/early summer of 2021, but Industria Mechanika has shifted to a digital download/3D print business model, and is ending production of physical resin model kits, so that is it for these designs!

I am planning on continuing to work with Industria Mechanika, and I hope to have some 3D printable kits, featuring new designs, available with them in the future. I will post more about this when the time comes.....Until then, thanks to all that bought and built these kits over the years! Your interest and support is much appreciated!

CLARKESWORLD #177

“Companion”, a piece from my EK2 Series is featured on the cover of issue #177 of science fiction anthology Clarkesworld. The ebook version is currently available (in almost any format you may want/need) and a print copy will follow in the future.

Issues can be purchased on the Clarkesworld website here.

Thanks to Neil Clarke again for the opportunity.

RAD INTERVIEW

I recently did an interview with Dario Bolivar of Red Académica de Diseño (RAD), a Columbian association of art/design/illustration graduates, teachers and students from the country's universities.

We talk about my path into a career as a concept artist, working in the industry, as well as my personal art.

You can watch the interview on Facebook here.

Or on Youtube here.

Towards the end of the interview Dario ’s internet drops out for a few minutes, but he triumphantly returns to finish things off.

Thanks to Dario and RAD for the opportunity!

TITAN

A couple years ago I worked on this cool little adventure game/technology demonstrator called Titan. I was mainly doing character design work and I only worked on it part time, as I was also working full time at NLG/Nintendo. It was a fun little project…and the design freedom was a great balance to the more rigid confines of the Nintendo work. Unfortunately after several months the cheques stopped coming in and emails went unanswered…….and I was done. From what I heard the whole project collapsed several months later. It was a shame……I would have loved to have designed more of those robots! Anyways, here are a few pieces, and a larger selection of the work can be seen here.

GALAKTIKA #364

“The Cocoon”, another piece from my series EK2 - The Lost Years was used as a cover image on issue #364 (Jun. 2020) of sci-fi magazine Galaktika. As with the last cover, the image was use on both the standard size and the larger "XL" edition.

Thanks again to Réka at Galaktika and Metropolis Media.

GALAKTIKA

“The Navigator”, a new piece from my series EK2 - The Lost Years was used on the cover of issue #358 (Jan. 2020) of long running Hungarian sci-fi magazine Galaktika. The image was use on both the standard size issue and the larger "XL" edition.

Thanks to Réka at Galaktika and Metropolis Media.

CLARKESWORLD COVER

EK SERIES ART BOOK SOLD OUT

My first art book is out of print! My publisher, Design Studio Press, has sold all their copies. There are a still a few new and used copies kicking around on a couple Amazon sites and there may be some available at different book retailers, but that is it. Japanese publisher Born Digital bought the rights to this book, so they may still have some of the Japanese language softcover edition in stock, and may publish more in the future, but the English hardcover edition is out of stock.

Thanks to everyone that bought a copy of the book, and a special thanks to all that purchased signed copies from me personally as well.

I’ll have to get started on the next one……
