Summary

After thirtysomething years functioning in many different roles within the videogame industry I shifted my focus to illustration, previsualization and art direction.- The fun stuff.

In a past life I was Studio Art Director at Amazon games, the president of BottleRocket Entertainment, Director of Product Development in SCEA’s San Diego Studio, as well as Producer, designer and Art director on many many games.

My experience and passion always lay in the creative process. Wherever & whenever possible I would conceptualize, storyboard and write.

I love to develop Ideas. Create crazy ideas or make your crazy ideas look awesome.

Check out my stuff and let me know what you think, and what you'd like to see more of.

Rock on- J
