Information:




This page was made to feature samples of the designs and artwork I create, as well as a resume for new clients and a links page for people who want to explore information on the transportation industry and illustration.


The gallery provides some information about the media and process involved in each piece. There are a variety of different methods used; a mixture of 2D, and 3D and analog and digital media. The work shown is a small sample of my creative output starting from my first years at art school, 1994, through my current professional career.

I have a B.S. degree in transportation design from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. I have been working at Honda R&D Americas, Inc. since 1997, working on concept and production vehicles for Honda and Acura. My job includes many aspects of the design process: computer modeling, idea sketching, market research, project management. It is a fun career and a childhood dream acheived, but it is hard work. Many people write me, interested in becoming a car stylist; the main things you are taught in school as a warning going in are:

I do try to answer as many questions as I get from e-mails. I am happy to do so. Please read through the site carefully, and hopefully I will answer your questions here.

My talents are available, time permitting. My fees are one-hundred dollars hourly and most complete renderings can take around 8 hours to complete. I do not do any 3D work.

I created this website myself by buying a book on HTML programming and spending a lot of time typing. If there are any glaring errors (especially spelling and punctuation), feel free to let me hear about it.
