I found this while going through a nostalgia trip google image search - This art was so inspiring to me growing up and your render and style was my favorite of all the cards I owned. Thank you.

Oh wow, thanks so much! It's funny, because while I was painting it, I thought it was turning out only 'so-so'. I was shocked when I discovered a couple years back how hugely popular it was!

I'm sure you've seen what the Internet's done with your work. <_<

Oh dear. Well, your rendering is pretty much the center of Urbie fandom. Behold!

Apparently it's the go-to picture for photoshopping. I guess it's a weird sort of Internet compliment, in a way.

You are the artist responsible for one of my most favorite illustrations in the Battletech CCG. Thank you.

I knew the background was all too realistic on the card from the getgo, and thank you for confirming my suspision, but when you so realistically rendered the UrbanMech on it, this was THE picture that made me think "Okay, this guy has got to be the most talented artist on the WOTC team to be able to pull that off so well." I'm not trying to kiss-ass, I'm just giving my opinions from when I was a kid collecting these cards.

Aww thanks! Honestly though, I think I just lucked out on this one. The stars aligned and the picture came together better than I could've hoped ; )

It was still the pic that made me like your art the most. It looks like you take a perfectionist approach to it, and yet, you don't. I can't wait to see what you've been cooking up THIS decade!

Well, as I mention in my profile, I mostly work in film now, so I don't do too much drawing these days. But you can find a smattering of more recent stuff in the "Video Games", "Film and TV", and "Miscellaneous" sections.
And if you're REALLY curious, here's a link to my favourite music video I've directed, which has some of the same sci-fi sensibilities as my Battletech and Shadowrun work:
