When you can't explain it with words, do it with images.
Specializing in hyper-realistic architectural, product, industrial & scientific illustration to reveal hidden value to your customer; how it's made and how it works, from simple to complex.
Inspired by illustrator Nate Williams, I've developed a new password-protected client portal system.
Powered by Blogger, a client's portal will include project briefs, delivery dates, sketches, roughs & comps and final files. This will allow me to keep clients constantly informed on their projects, and make available their files at their convenience.
Want to see a portal? Sorry – clients only – but hey, get in touch and become one!

If you use multiple computers during your day, you know that all monitors are not created equally. A computer monitor uses phosphors or crystals to colourize light as it's transmitted through the screen. Depending on the manufacturer's specifications, gradual deterioration of materials and the type of backlight used, the resulting colour can vary significantly. Add ambient light to the mix and you have entered the dogmatic world of color management.
Pantone, the print industry standard for consistent colour, and X-Rite (formerly GretagMacbeth), the leader in colour measurement, have teamed up to create a simple, powerful and affordable tool to calibrate any type of display.
The Huey Pro suction-cups to your display while easy to use software steps you through the 2-5 minute process. The unit measures 22 colour swatches, creating a custom colour profile for true and neutral output. When the process is complete, the Huey rests in a desktop dock to automatically measure and adjust for changing ambient lighting conditions in the room.
Though this is a professional colour calibration tool, its price and ease of use is making the Pantone Huey Pro popular in the Pro-sumer photography market.
Recently completed a cutaway illustration of an 80-foot flybridge megayacht and its cabin.
Technical illustration allows for the communication of a vast amount of visual information. In this case, the entirety of the vessel - inside and out - can be presented in a single image. The quality of design, materials and finishes can be emphasized. At the same time, distracting details such as bilge pumps and thrusters can be diminished or omitted to maintain clarity.
To capture the same amount of information with product photography would require numerous shots from various angles, each diminishing valuable layout space - and more importantly - diminishing the viewer's attention.
Plas-Tech is a one-stop plastic component design & manufacturing company. They came to me with a problem; their equipment enables them to manufacture virtually anything, but their customers work in very specific industries. Together we developed a package that communicates the breadth of their capabilities, as well as demonstrates specialization in their customers' markets.
Made a couple additions to the site: An illustration of Boston Dynamics robotic mule, BigDog, and a spot illustration for Canadian Woodworking Magazine. Also made some minor layout changes and major backend changes that should improve the efficiency of the site.
My four-month-old Apple Macbook Pro has been experiencing short battery life and random shut-downs while on battery power. I called AppleCare and when I flipped my computer over to provide the computer and battery serial numbers, discovered that my battery was the Magically Expanding Kind.
Apple is replacing the battery free of charge, shipping it to my door and covering return shipping of the dud. Isn't it great when a company admits fault (on behalf of their suppliers, no less) and corrects the mistake?
