This site contains a collection of the work I've done over the last 14+ years as a professional 3d artist. I've primarily worked on arch-viz the past several years and am currently employed at HMC Architects in Ontario, CA. I spend most of my "free" time with my wife and working on my 3d community scripting website ScriptSpot.

Cleaned up gallery

Finally eliminated some of my older work from the gallery...

Time for some early spring cleaning...

Submitted by chris on Mon, 12/15/2008 - 20:45
I've noticed my gallery section is getting ridiculously long. The problem with this business is you spend countless hours on a project, then a year later it seems outdated but I find it hard to remove... Oh well, I'll clean it out soon so its easier to keep track of whats new / better content...

I've recently stumbled upon a website / podcast by the guys over at Geeks and God - www.geeksandgod.com They talk about a lot of things like blogging, social networking, drupal, church a/v and tons of other stuff that is really valuable for those of us who are into tech and church. Even if you're not into church, its a really well done podcast and anyone doing drupal work especially should check em out. Great job guys!
