The new 2010 Concept/matte painting reel is up!

Just finished some work on a Canadian movie called Incendies from director Denis Villeneuve. Also did concept work for Priest, a sci-fi movie about a priest who disobeys church law to track down the vampires who kidnapped his niece. Priest is an adaptation of the graphic novel by Min-Woo Hyung.

Doing some matte painting work at Rhythm & Hues for Percy Jackson & the Olympians. A young boy discovers he's the descendant of a Greek god and sets out on an adventure to settle an on-going battle between the gods. Based on the book by Rick Riordan.

Check out my new work from the Watchmen in the matte painting section. Set in 1985, the film follows a group of former vigilantes as tensions heighten between the United States and the Soviet Union as an investigation of an apparent conspiracy against them uncovers something even more grandiose and sinister.

I'm currently at Sony Imageworks, working on Roland Emmerich's 2012. An academic researcher leads a group of people in a fight to counteract the apocalyptic events that were predicted by the ancient Mayan calendar. (not an actual image from the movie)

Working on Fast and Furious 4 until December.

Don't miss the DVD release of INTERSTATE by Vanguard Cinema, coming May 27th. Imagine a trip down Route 66, where drive-ins, eccentric diners, fifties gas stations and neon stripped Tiki motels still stand. This is the backdrop of Interstate; a hallucinatory journey across America into the bleak world of film noir. On his way to Los Angeles to meet his girlfriend, Edgar (Shiloh Fernandez – Drake & Josh, Jericho, Cadillac Records) picks up two suspicious looking teenage sisters; Veronica, a femme fatale nightmare, and Gloria, a quirky acid head obsessed with snapping Polaroids. The journey takes a strange turn when Edgar becomes stranded with the girls in a seedy roadside motel. Strange revelations are made and Veronica uncovers Edgar’s grim past and blackmails him for everything he’s got.

I will be doing some matte paintings for the adaptation of the graphic novel by Alan Moore. "Watchmen" is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the "Doomsday Clock" - which charts the USA's tension with the Soviet Union - is permanently set at five minutes to midnight. When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the washed up but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion - a ragtag group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers - Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future. Their mission is to watch over humanity... but who is watching the Watchmen?" Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead, 300) directs.

Currently doing concept work and matte painting on Disney's Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Raja Gosnell). The movie is about Chloe (Drew Barrymore), a ritzy Beverly Hills chihuahua who finds herself lost in Mexico and in desperate need for help to get back home.

I just changed the gallery and added a Concept Art section. It is still a work in progress and I will add more images to it later. Also, I've been working on the same project for the last four months and won't be able to update the matte painting gallery until December, so don't hold your breath.
