Fantasy Nonsense | Environment Designs | LEGO Mars Mission | LEGO Knights Kingdom
Although an unnatural obsession with construction toys dominates the majority of my work, I've been known to occasionally paint more traditional subjects. (Traditional for middle-school fantasy nerds, that is.)

Sometimes I even paint traditional fantasy-nerd subjects when I'm supposed to be painting construction toys.
Beholder Beach
"Beholder Beach"
Fantasy Nonsense (2005-2008) As a lingering effect of childhood nerdery, I have a weakness for painting up fantasy nonsense. I've gathered up a collection of paintings from over the years, including "Beholder Beach," "Büttrøck the Deathmetal Lawn Gnome," "Nelson's Blood," "Envy," and "Dante's Horses."
Environment Designs
Environment Designs
Environment Designs (2007-2008) During my free hours (namely, the hours from two to six A.M. when I would normally rather be sleeping), I often end up working on freelance environment design sketches.
"Mars Mission"
LEGO Mars Mission
LEGO® Mars Mission (2006) Although my best known projects at Lego were in the castle theme, every now and then I managed to sneak some sci-fi work through the pipeline. Here are the background paintings for the LEGO Mars Mission line for 2007.
Vladek
Vladek Concept
LEGO® Knights Kingdom (2003-2005) My first big project at LEGO was a rare instance in which I got to follow a project from concept to product development to marketing support through all three years of its multiple-award-winning run. I stayed with the Knights Kingdom theme through its entire lifecycle, from doing initial concept design on the characters and playsets to becoming the main illustrator for the series.
Castle Characters
LEGO Castle Characters
LEGO® Castle 2007 Characters (2006) Following Knights Kingdom, we finally got to do the fantasy castle line I'd always dreamed of, with all the orcs and dwarves and skeleton knights you could ever want. I was a little disappointed the line didn't last long enough for us to get elves, but I did get to draw the stock poses for all the Castle 2007 Characters.
