SpinQuad.com was gracious enough to request an interview from me which they have posted here. A huge thanks goes out to Pablo Garcia of the SpinQuad community for putting it all together. - J

I was recently commissioned by 2DArtist Magazine to write a "how to" article for one of my concept illustrations. The image I'm referring to is "Speed Runners" which was made using a ZBrush to Photoshop workflow. Big thanks goes out to SaltaPiedras of the ZBrush Central forums for providing the zship creation technique. It’s been an invaluable source for me and I could not have created this illustration without his contribution. - J

A pdf of this article is available in the downloads section.

I was recently chosen as a featured portfolio for the front page of CGChannel.com. My good friends Igor and Shane have also been featured as well. Slide by and have a look. - J

I finally managed to find some time to give the site a small facelift. It's not much different than before (other than it's a little brighter than what I'm normally used to), but the overall look and feel fits my taste perfectly... clean and simple. The gallery albums have also been cleaned up a bit and I've added a new section which contains various tutorials in both pdf and video format.

As some of you may have already noticed, there has been a serious lack of updates and participation for my site and also in the several online communities I've been involved with throughout the last couple of months. For those who have taken the time to email or contact me directly during this time, I'd like to thank you very much. I haven't been exactly in the best of mental states coping with an overwhelming amount of work that I simply just needed some time off to breathe and get my head straight. I'll be making small updates to the site during next few weeks so feel free to stop by periodically. I'm hoping to have the site bug free and fully operational by week's end. As always, if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me directly. - J
