Site ready? Almost there...

So I've been spending the past ten days or so working on the new Illustration site.
I really haven't had a site devoted exclusively to "Illustration" and it was tough pulling the trigger on a few pieces. While many have special places in my heart, quite a few of those weren't appropriate for the site. I didn't fell they best represented my work.
It's tough to delete so many of the older pieces, too. I kept a couple in the "Flotsam and Jetsam" section (basically a catch-all for pieces too tough to categorize otherwise) but for the most part I left out anything older than six years or so.
It'll be going live by the end of the day today (I'll post the link when it's ready) so take a look when you get the chance and let me know what you think.

Been gone too long-

It's been a crazy -what? Year? 18 months?
Writing, illustrating and promoting two books (in addition to all my other, regular work) has kept me away for quite a while.
With the new year right around the corner I'll be turning a new leaf, putting on big-boy pants and start to add regular, proper posts to this site.
See you soon-
Jeff

Doin' some Zombifyin'

Something on the horizon

Some pieces from a new project-

When a Studio Was A Studio

It wasn't too long ago everybody's studio looked like this. Now we're down to a single computer, a wacom tablet and perhaps a layout pad. Amazing.

Matte Painting

The late, great Albert Whitlock was responsible for some of the most memorable matte paintings on TV and in movies. I love this photo of him next to this massive painting he created for the 1981 film Ghost Story (the one above Whitlock's is the lost city of Atlantis that I created digitally)

Technology will continue to advance, making things easier (and taking up less space) for artists, but ultimately the success or failure of the piece will depend on the innate talent of the one creating the piece.

I LOVE ZOMBIES

Some prankster in Austin managed to hack into the system and add a little excitement to the commute. How can you not love the undead?
