A BIG CHANGE

I have officially left Ravensoft and am now working at Day1 Studios as Art Director on FRACTURE!

If you haven't heard of, or seen FRACTURE you can check out the official site here, or gamespots preview here.

So far the change has been fantastic. The studio is great, people are cool, and living in Chicago is a blast.

More pics and stories to come.

The Great White North

After four years, and four games I finally managed to take my first vacation from Raven and headed back to both Toronto and Vancouver to see friends and family this Christmas. I even hooked up with a bunch of the fellas from DKP (now Starz Animation) for a night out and a few pints.


It was great to be back in Canada and fill up on all the things you can't get in Wisconsin : Tim Horton's, Poutine, real Chinese food, the Leafs, the Raptors, Canadian Television, and good Maple syrup. But I have to admit that I found it strange to be surrounded by so many people again. After living for the past four years in a city of six hundred thousand, Toronto's three million took a little getting used too.

As I mentioned earlier, I managed to hook up with the fellas at Finn McCools, and threw back a few Guiness and Tequilla. It was great to see Sean, Fabris , Damer, Chadwick Von Licktenstien, Craig Barr (possibly the funniest guy on the planet) and Morch make it out. Hopefully we can do it all again in the summer.

first blog

Well I finally got the blog up and running. Here is a quick update:
I'm still working at Ravensoft / Activision in sunny Madison Wisconsin and having a blast. We finished up Marvel Ultimate Alliance about 5 months ago and are now rolling on a new project. I'm pretty excited to be cranking on this title and I think players are going to love it.

Over X-mas I managed to get up home to Canada to see family and friends, and had a blast. I spent a few days out west in Vancouver and the rest of the 2 weeks in Toronto. I'll see if I can track down some pics over the next few days.
