Interests: Art, Music, Design, Art, Politrix, Literature, Art... and Photoshop.

About Me: I'm a life-long, 4th generation Californian, who has worked in advertising/marketing -- particularly entertainment advertising -- for his entire adult life. Actually, even before that. I had my first work published in a national magazine at age 14 and was doing cartooning and airbrush work for local agencies when I was 16.

For many years now I have worked in both general advertising and theatrical/home entertainment advertising, creating movie posters, DVD/VHS packaging, print campaigns, web graphics, illustrative rendering, Photoshop retouching and finishing, etc., etc., etc.

Yes, I have a personal life outside of work. Or wait. One has been scheduled...

Position Responsibilities: Theatrical and home entertainment keyart ("movie poster") design for one sheets, DVD and other applications. Comping, finishing, visualization, retouch and all aspects of digital manipulation.

Work History: 20+ years in advertising/marketing, full-time or freelance, for various ad agencies, design firms and movie studios in and around Los Angeles and Hollywood, CA. Responsibilities have included Creative/Art Direction, Design, Project Management, Print Production, Illustration, Typesetting, DVD/VHS and Video Game Packaging, Book and Catalog Design/Production, Web Design and Graphics, etc., etc., etc.

What Services Can You Offer Adgabber Members?: All aspects of art direction and design, most specifically high-end Photoshop magic, including concept/comping, 2D to 3D rendering, vector Illustration, package and keyart design, print and web graphics... the list goes on. Hey, it's one-stop shopping, OK?

What Services Are You Looking For From AdGabber Members?: Just lookin' to make some new friends, expand my circle and do some of the ol' networkin'. What else?

Oh well. (;-)]
