To Infinity and Beyond!!
















I started this piece a couple of weeks in piecemeal knowing that my daughter Alison will be born this week. Knowing what many parents go through with their first child (no sleep), my time for personal art will be cut in half if none at all. I'll sneak in a few vehicles like I promised (when baby is asleep). There will probably be a blackout for a few weeks after this posting. Enjoy!



This is a tribute to one of my all time heroes, Stephan Martiniere. His work is truly inspiring and perhaps influenced alot of my own work up to now. I had alot of fun attending his workshop a few weeks ago.

Hi Brian, It's really nice to see more work after some weeks of pondering and being inspired by R2 :)

Congratulations on the great news, too! It's really, really amazing to hear that you're expecting a new one :)

This is beautiful. definitely a great piece to show your little one someday when they're old enough to understand.

I love the cat and the blue halo around the thrusters

Dude, that cat....I can't take my eyes off that cat. Is that pepper time-warped 150 years into the future? I like the way this design shows off the enormous scale of that ship. The curved silohuette really directs your eye in a strong sweeping motion and creates a strong sense of anticipated energy...further reinforced by that ship taking off in the background. I don't want to be caught anywhere near those exhausts when the engines ignite! Well done! BTW, how big is the original file?

Thanks for the kind comments everyone. It's been pretty hectic being a dad. Although, I think I lucked out on some areas that I've been warned about before. I'll tr to post more things soon. Thanks!
