Hi all,

Happy Holidays to everyone, It's been awhile, I've been so busy with family and work and the holidays. On the career front, me and the talented crew of BIG MACHINE won an Emmy award  for a TV show I worked on for NAT-GEO'S BIG CAT week..you can check it here

Future Cats Emmy award

I haven't posted much, so today is the day.
In the past year I had the privilege to do some illustrations for H.G. Well's "War of the Worlds" I had a lot of freedom in the creations of these illustrations and truly enjoyed giving my own take on the visuals for the story. You can check a few out right here in my gallery.

Hi DA friends,

It's been a tad long since I've posted an update. It's been a bumpy 2014 however I've survived and am doing well. I've decided to go freelance again which means I am a gun for hire or should I say a brush for hire now . I'm living in the Los Angeles area in sunny California now and I'm also teaching a Creature design class at Gnomon school of VFX. I'm back to doing art for me and illustration and freelance concept art. I've been contracted to do all the interior art for H.G. Wells "War of the Worlds" which will be published by the Easton press www.eastonpress.com.

good to be back in DA,

JP

Time flies by,

Happy New Year friends. I hope to post more this year and mingle a bit more with my Deviant peeps. All the best to you and I hope everyone does more awesome art this year!

Hi DA friends,

I know it's been awhile and it's shameful that I have not updated or posted in several months. A couple of personal and professional things happened that has occupied my time.
The personal is personal and I keep for myself. I can say on a professional tip is that I've been working as a senior concept artist for Epic games since August 2012. I'm very fortunate to be there as I'm in the company of some of the most talented and brilliant game developers and artist in the world. Everyday I learn something new or see something amazing.
This is no excuse for not doing my own art as I will still do that and try to post when I can. I've missed the community here and seeing all the rising talented artist here.

Happy New year all and lets keep doing more kick ass art in 2013!

Hi DA,

I usually don't like to plug available prints as they are listed in the images pages. Since I've gotten a few request for this one and a few others, thought I would let you all know
that I have made my Game of Thrones painting available as a print on Deviant. The painting was an original commission for a board game and was done with traditional oil paints.
Thats a rare in istelf as I work digitally 90% of the time.
