Artists, save your copy rights!

It was brought to my attention by my friend, and one of my favorite artists Kathleen Moody, that the Orphan Works bill if passed will allow legal infringement on original works of art without the need of consent of the artist. So imagine someone or some business using your artwork for profit at your expense.

This bill has already passed Senate, and must be stopped at Congress.

Cad model to tangible prototype

Upping my game. Computer designed in a few hours, and received in my hands in days...its almost like having a genie in a bottle,"I wish to have a part thats like this big."

PC station

Display and k-board I modeled and textured.

Doors x 4

A certain company made a HMMWV in 1/6 scale; but without full size doors. I ofcourse want a fully armored rig. Computer designed.

Tank details

A neat little economic sewing machine came in quite handy for the added prop baggage, not to mention inexpensive remnant cloth material from a local fabric store.


The guns in the carriages pictured above are existing products that I utilized.

Poly and Rigging

This was a study in 3dSMax of editable mesh & poly modeling, and rigging.

A piece redu

I did a piece way back of a bookcover design of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, it was done in photoshop. I revisited that piece, and just recreated it with, "..all new special effects never before seen," with 3dMax.

Earlier work of the virtual kind

One of several segways I created, about 10-15 second animations. Models, materials, lighting, and effects in Max.

Some work from a few years back. Oldies but goodies; my cathedral gets pretty good mileage. Modeled in 3dSmax, with some textures created with Photoshop for use in the materials. The lower macro shot was used in 2 brochures; front cover for the animation program and the back cover for the cad program

Grins and Giggles

Just a little playing around with animated gifs. The lower gif is an homage to the geniuses Zucker, Abrahams, and Zucker. Click on the images if you don't see the actual animation, and give it a couple seconds.

The Tank

I've always been fascinated with armor, especially tanks. Well maybe all things military.

When I was a kid, I made my own models from cardboard. Fast forward to today. When some things fell into place mixed in with a lot of research, 1:6 scale was the size I wanted my ultimate battle tank to be.

Computer designed, CNC cut, welded, airbrushed and weathered.
