On this show, this is the Matte Painting that almost killed me.  Sometimes, the ones that seem most straight-forward, for some reason bite you in the … happy end.

Truly great subject matter for matte paintings to work on. Great vantage points, architecture, canals, photography, and the beautiful city of Venice.

Hired directly by Icon Production, another fantastic show with Ted Rae. We did a lot of old school miniature work and photography for matte paintings. Fun!

The Express

CIS Hollywood had great teams of artists. I was fortunate to work with many of them on multiple movies. They knew how to take care of Art and the Artists.

As gruesome as it looks, which at times made it hard to look at the footage, this show was great to work on.  Very inspiring!  Thank you Ted Rae.

This painting was tremendous fun, tedious at times with all the mechanical details. Very rewarding collaboration with George Hull.
