Year six was much like year five. I spent all of 2013 working at Maxis games and after the obligatory awkwardness of people finding out about my Tuesdays passed, everyone was very sweet about it and it never presented any conflicts. A testament to the wonderful working atmosphere of Maxis. …
Er. Well, sort of.. It turns out to be one of those games that just starts over from the beggining over and over. So I beat it in both game modes, (played 2.5 times through “A” mode.)…
I beat Paperboy for Nintendo! Actually it wasn’t very hard or dramatic in anyway. I think the only reason I hadn’t done it as a kid was because I lacked patience… …
After almost twenty years of shame, I FINALLY beat this game. I’ll be honest it wasn’t easy.

I don’t know how I’ve gone so long not realizing that two of my favorite contemporary musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have collaborated on many musical soundtracks. I at once dived into them all and was not disappointed. This song off the soundtrack to the move The Proposition is so amazingly sublime….
Lately I’ve gotten really into the seventies television show Columbo. About a brilliant detective who pretends to be inept in order to trap criminals into exposing their crime. The show is awesome. …
I‘m honored to have a few of my character paintings in 3D Total’s new art book set “Prime”. …
I‘ve been in talks with a number of different game companies over the last three months about positions ranging from art director, 3D environment artist, concept artist, texture artist etc. …
Greetings from Japan! This Tuesday found me traveling from Kyoto to Nagano with my Friend Kazz to stay with his parents in his family home….
