Wow! It's been nearly four years and no updates on my site! We just released MX vs. ATV Untamed after spending about 18 months on a project that will never see the light of day. That basically explains what I've been up to. In addition to that, I have been working on a few things and hopefully I'll be able to post them shortly. I promise it won't be long.

What a difference eight months makes. After some fun, good times in Utah working on Advent Rising, which will be released early next year, I realized that eight months away from the family, with no real offers for the house on the table , was too much to ask of my wife and kids. So when some friends at Rainbow asked if I'd be interested in a new project, I said yes. Since then (June of this year) I've been hard at work on an un-announced project and have been happy as a clam. :) It has been a long time since I've posted anything new. But rest assured, new stuff is in the works.

Well, how time flies ;) I have started a new job at GlyphX Inc., where I worked a few years ago. I do miss my buddies at Rainbow, Naughty Dog, and Crystal Dynamics, but it's great to be back at GlyphX. I'm hard at work cranking out animation for Advent Rising, GlyphX's first game project. I've also been busy on a few other projects which will see the light of day in my gallery soon. My website's first year was a good one. We had over 3.3 million hits and 252,000 pages. Cool.

Been awhile since I've posted, but there's a new image in the Artwork gallery. Check it out. I also posted a thread on CGTalk. Thanks to everyone who gave comments and critique, it was very helpful. My friends up north (Glyphx) announced their new game project called Advent Rising. It's a rather cool third person shooter. Look for it next year on PC and Xbox. I recently completed a new cover image for Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild. I'll post an image when I can. Also of note, as of now this site has had well over 600,000 hits this year. I'm going to have to start optimizing the site some more, since I'm hitting bandwidth limits at the end of every month. So, if this site goes down....that's probably why. Chances are it's going to go down in June. See you in July if it does!

Some new (and old) animations are now viewable in the animation section. Also new is a group of images from the Summoner: A Goddess Reborn cinematic project viewable in the artwork section. Also, April marks the third consecutive month we are serving more than 100,000 hits/per month. Thanks!

I've given the site a moderate face lift. I hope it's for the better. The gallery format is much more accessible and there are some new images from recent and not so recent projects. Now that Summoner: A Goddess Reborn is available, I am working on getting images ready for posting. The cover image is viewable now here.

Summoner: A Goddess Reborn is on the shelves! Info and reviews on the game can be found at Gamespot and IGN as well as other sites.

Rainbow Studios Animation has officially closed it's doors. Several good friends have moved on and the rest of us recently joined the Rainbow Games division. It was a good run for us and it's sad to see it come to an end, but many new and exciting things are ahead.

Summoner: The Prophecy has been re-named Summoner: A Goddess Reborn. Look for it on shelves in mid-January. Cover art work for the game was done by yours truly. ;)

We recently finished some work for Summoner the Prophecy, the Gamecube version of Summoner 2. Look for it to be on shelves this winter season. For information on Summoner the Prophecy, keep an eye on the THQ website. Summoner the Prophecy is being developed by Cranky Pants and Volition.

Donner has been picked up by the BBC this year as well as several other European TV broadcast/cable channels. ABC Family will also be airing Donner this Christmas as part of their 25 Days of Christmas. For details, go here.

The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt is airing this week on A&E. Check here for dates and times. Check local listings for exact airtimes.

Zyph is nearly rigged and ready for animation, so soon I'll be doing some tests. If anything good comes of it, I'll post it.
