I was on a big M.C. Escher kick while designing this title, here are todays sketches for a new Lynda.com DVD release, Revit 3. This application can be purchased within the suite of AutoCAD. Revit is purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), Autodesk® Revit® Architecture building design software that helps architects and designers capture and analyze early concepts, and then better maintain designs through documentation and construction. Users will enjoy a more collaborative, integrated building design process by sharing essential BIM data with the partners, and use BIM workflows to help drive more efficient sustainable design analysis, clash detection, construction planning, and material fabrication. Hmm, I wonder which sketch they will pick?

Woman #92 | Monotype | 3.5"x5.5" | 2008

I have been exploring this human relationship theme through printmaking and painting for 8 years. With Zimm's redesign of my website I was able to effectively combine my personal work with my applied work and get rid of my stand alone fine art site. It was fun to revisit this stuff and see how the style has changed yet stayed the same. If you have time please check out the work here. thanks!

The Warrior Pose is my favorite Yoga position which reminds me that I need to get back to doing Yoga. Here are some new DVD covers for Lynda.com. These pieces are a lot of fun to create and the biggest challenge for me is finding new ways to push enough color into the design to drive a cover.  Art Direction from Heather Stallings and Bruce Heavin.

The Peaceable Kingdom of Floating and Flying Creatures

One of my favorite archetypes is the idea of the Peaceable Kingdom. The concept is universal and has been explored and implored through every culture including our own with Rodney King's famous words, "Can we all get along". My favorite graphic interpretation was developed by Edward Hicks (1780-1849) in his Peaceable Kingdom paintings which inspired this piece. His piece is so incredible it is almost painful showing my version next to his but, here you go!.
