The wind
I created this piece for a wall on my main-floor. It is on canvas an is 6 x 2 feet and has a cheesy Japanese character on it since I thought it looked cool. It means 'wind' I think. Drawn in Flash and Photoshop.

Lego Racer
The file's hefty in size but still worth a download. Watch the car build itself! Modelled in Rhino 3d, Rendered in Swift 3d and pieced together in Flash.
Waiting
I made this as my own personal tribute to a favorite band called B! Machine. It was intended to be set to music but I never went through with asking the artist's permission. This was featured on CBC's Zed TV's front page on valentine's day and ahs been aired on the show twice. I wasn't even aware what a weeble was when I made this...seriously! Made entirely in flash.

The Parkhill
This was part of a contract pitch to a new condo in town. Modelled and rendered with 3d Studio Max.
