i worked as an illustrator on thor for about a year and helped in the preliminary design of asgard, odin's tower, heimdall's observatory and some other environments and set dec. it was a lot of fun and i was in the company of some very talented individuals. i can't speak highly enough about the production designer, bo welch.

oh and the thor 'art of' book is out. along with some of my work you'll find some incredible art from my talented friends: ryan meinerding, charlie wen, michael kutsche, vance kovacs, raj rihal and kasra farahani to name a few.

some of the stuff that didn't make it into the book i'll have up in my gallery. you know, for the net-street cred and such...

as you were.

HAPPY THORSDAY!
