A few years ago, I was asked by the NHL to paint the program cover for their annual Winter Classic game. I had never actually gotten a copy of it until recently. The game took place at Michigan Stadium and holds the record for the highest attendance of any NHL game at 105,000 people. The original painting was 3 feet x 4 feet tall and was done with acrylics and colored pencil on canvas. It was a lot of fun to paint, and I even managed to sneak in a self portrait in the lower left corner. #winterclassic #nhl #painting #redwings #mapleleafs #bighouse #hockeyart #drawing #portraitpainting #illustration #acrylicpainting #airbrush #sportsart https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsK4oLPACA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Throw back to my designs for the helmets in Interstellar. Though some of the smaller details got refined and finessed, this is pretty much what we ended up building for the movie. #interstellar #helmet #costume #costumedesign #spacesuit https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmxn5BMLp4N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

You might call this an “easter egg”. If you pause your copy of Interstellar around the 1:48:33 mark, you would probably see in small writing sms121181…. And that could be the initials and birthday of someone you might have heard of 🤔. #interstellar #eastereggs #itsallinthedetails #spacesuit #details #designdetails #blackhole https://www.instagram.com/p/CjAM1NyOFWA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This one is an oldie, but one of my favorites. The Cronenberg/Goldblum version of “The Fly” was released more than 35 years ago, and is still one of my favorite movies. This is my alternate take on the character - Maybe his beginning stages, before he turns into total killer fly mode. #thefly #creature #maggot #conceptart #sculpture #statue #darkart #horror #3dprinting #resin #creaturedesign #nightmarefuel #80shorror #3dprint https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci8kDxYvUyU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These are some of the final images I made while building the helmet that Tom Hanks wears in the film “Finch”. It was a blast working with costume designers @kurtandbart2 and helping to bring their vision to life. Overall one of my favorite working experiences. #finch #helmet #design #costume #hanks #conceptart #postapocalyptic #costumedesign #tbt https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch-fAMwv5FU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are a couple shots of my “Overthinker” statue. I keep him on my desk, while I work, to remind me to take it easy, and not worry about the little things. Sometimes it might seem like you are hanging off a cliff, and the weight of your thoughts is too much to bear, but if you take a step back, it probably isn’t so bad. #overthinker #brainhealth #brainart #think #sculpture #mentalhealth #statue #smartart #brain #brainfog #thinker https://www.instagram.com/p/ChF0uevhax_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a helmet I built for the Orville season 3. The tight fit, along with the lighting element were a fun challenge. It ended up lookin pretty cool! #theorville #helmet #conceptart #3d #3dmodel #spacesuit #costume #costumedesign #3dprinting https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8giz0u3WJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are some final pics of my creature boy. What started out as a halloween costume for my four year old son, has now turned into a life size statue. #creature #creaturefromtheblacklagoon #universalmonsters #monster #statue #monsterverse #sculpture #darkart #3dprint #conceptart #monsterart https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQZuoUrY1a/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the final model I made of polka dot man when making his goggles and gauntlets for the suicide squad. It was awesome to work on such a fun and unique character and @dastmalchian was an incredibly sweet person and amazing actor. #polkadotman #thesuicidesquad #dc #costume #goggles #conceptart #design #costumedesign #superhero #imasuperhero #supervillain https://www.instagram.com/p/Cepjy7VLWhg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is an illustration I did a while back for the Honda dream campaign. It was made to represent the different fields that Honda technology has a hand in, and show the imagination that goes into their work. #illustration #dream #imagination #3d #digitalpainting #conceptart #design https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQkF8aPPRh/?utm_medium=tumblr

These are a pair of prosthetic arms I designed and built for a commercial a while back. Both were functional and could be puppeteered for different actions. A lot of fun to make, and a good time on set as well. #robot #design #mech #3dprint #prosthetic #madewithmodo https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca_MblcrXiG/?utm_medium=tumblr

This is a helmet I designed and built for a Spectrum commercial a little while back. It was meant to exist in a “Halo” type video game. #helmet #halo #conceptart #videogame #scifi #scifihelmet https://www.instagram.com/p/CavJ9DVPY7C/?utm_medium=tumblr
