ONI.

anime art

godgames'

Oni is currently owned by Take 2 Interactive and was published
by Gathering of Developers for the mac and pc, and Rockstar Games for the PS2.
Oni was simultaneously released on pc and ps2 on Jan. 29, 2001.

I also drew the fail screens,90% of the work done for all the level screens,
which can be found here; and I also helped out with the fly-in face panels that appear when the characters talk.

Oh, and I also did all the covers to the Oni comic. The last Oni illustration I did being the "issue 0" cover which they've also turned into a desktop picture.

ElfQuest

So far my work has appeared in...

A.D.Vision, Inc.

I was art director/senior artist. I had a hand in the packaging design/production for nearly every title from late 1994 to early 1998. That's over 100 titles! I've done some background voices, video opening titles, copyproofed some subtitled films, created ads for various magazines, created all manner of promotional materials, created several logos, spent lots of hours coaching, guiding and nudging the graphic designers who've worked on various projects that fell under my jurisdiction. Also made sure every project was 'up to spec' with the other (so we don't have one thing that looks really bad because we spent so much effort in making something else kick-ass good). That's a *load* of work. Check out the ADV site. Don't forget to check out the gallery pages!

For a short time I freelanced with them for:
packaging design for "Street Fighter V2" volumes 1-4 (for UK only)
packaging/sellsheet design for "Master of Mosquiton" volume 1.

Here's a list of what I've worked on/done for ADV in the course of 3.25 years:

(ad)=art direction (pd)=packaging design--which sometimes include logo design
(vo)=voice overs -- background voices/noise and/or lines of dialogue
(A lot of these titles had sequels. I think I'm probably missing a few from the list...)

Freelance work that I can safely mention: packaging design for "Street Fighter V2" volumes 1-4 (for UK only) and pkg/sellsheet design for "Master of Mosquiton" volume 1.

And this is what I did for ADV's Graphic Visions back when it existed:

Before ADV I worked at:

Sandstone Graphics / JFP Stamps / Rosetta Stone (Mac Desktop Publishing companies near Chicago, IL)

Real Estate Profile / Apartments and Homes (a local Chicago weekly newspaper)

Youth Communication / New Expression (Chicago's 4th largest newspaper, monthly) (I worked there for 5 years)

IILLUSTRATOR

GRAPHICS MANAGER
(after 6 months as illustrator, I was promoted and 'supervised' the illustrators, also assisted the Graphics Director in the production of the newspaper -- this included paste-up; ad tracking; photo placement and color mark-ups for separation)

SPECIAL PROJECTS DIRECTOR
(Projects that needed 'special' attention, or projects that came from the Executive Director landed on my lap)
(Most of the projects are the cross-publication supplements that were also published in the Chicago Sun-Times)
(I did the above and still did my graphics manager job)

GRAPHICS DIRECTOR
(I continued to do everything I used to do except Illustration -- which was the one thing I *really* liked)
(I continued to do special projects, supervised the graphics and photography staff, and continued to teach the graphics staff in the areas of illustration, grahpic design and desktop publishing)(I was 21 when I left)
