September 2005

- Last weekend was my 32nd birthday. I finally opened my last box 4 months after moving to canada. My work on Prince of Persia 3 is pretty much done, aside from some marketing illustrations left to do. Hopefully as soon as the project is over I should be able to post the concept sketches (character and environments) in the corporate section of the gallery. During this time, I am painting a lot on the side, especially filling the speedpaintings section of the gallery.

- You probably noticed the new site design, much cleaner than the old one (that is still viewable if you are interested here, and there although it's filled with ugly drawings and old projects).

-----------------------------------------------------------

July 2005

- Damn, lots of stuff happened. Moved to Montreal, Canada! Working now for Ubisoft Montreal on Prince of Persia 3. I have been working on it for almost 3 months already, and a lot of concepts were done. I have also been very productive speed-painting wise, and will be posting A LOT of new stuff soon. Just got my PC back after a trip to the repair shop.

- I have been learning a lot among Barontieri, Sparth, Hydropix and Viag. It feels really good to be among such a great team. Have met a lot of new people and have met again with old friends like Thierry, Tenshu, Sidonie and David which makes me really feel like I am home. Actually I have been doing less and less painter and much more photoshop. A lot of brushes creation and sharing with my buddies, lotsa fun!

- Anyway, like promised in the first lines, I will be posting a lot of new stuff, just give me few days. I will also restart my website from scratch in the next months or so, so don't be bored yet, changes coming ahead.

February2005

- Hi here! I am sure you noticed a little acceleration in browsing speed?? Woohhoo!! Just changed web hosting company, hope you'll enjoy.

- Have worked in Dallas for 6 months now, I miss Austin a lot, but oh well, gotta move on sometimes. Have not updated much my site, but have added few new things here and there (never used art in the corporate section, few images in the cute area done for conceptart.org, and a Matte painting for TV section) but not much yet. Since the next six months look like they will be highly uneventful (maybe boring), I am planning on adding stuff to my favorite section, the painter area :)

-----------------------------------------------------------

August2004

- Have been too busy moving to Dallas to draw anything outside of work. I have finally decided to move out of Acclaim. Learned a lot, sweated a lot for 4.5 years,

but it was definitely time to move... Going to miss everyone (at least at the studio level), good luck for the future, I sincerely miss you all. Started working for reelfx 3 weeks ago,

and so far it's been really exciting, I have been learning a lot in compositing and after FX. Hope to learn much more. Very nice atmosphere and people.

Have met so many people from www.conceptart.org before leaving Austin! Sorry for the people I have not answered emails, I am working on it...

It was very inspiring to meet all those friends from online forums. Hi to everyone. Few sketches added in the doodles section. My website needs a serious rework.

-----------------------------------------------------------

June2004

- ZBRUSH section: Back to real 3D at last! Zbrush sculptures, still trying to find my ways around the software, but getting there slowly!

Sorry for the lack of news... A lot of illustrations and concepts coming this way though, from THE RED STAR, and other projects.
