Following the closure of LEGO Universe, I moved out to LEGO's U.S. headquarters to serve as art director of illustration in the in-house consumer marketing agency. Six years of trading cards, posters, packaging, comic books, and web graphics and animation followed, both heading remote illustration teams and working within them according to the needs of the ever-changing project queue.
The LEGO Universe team contacted me in 2006 about their upcoming MMO, but it was a couple of years before we finished up work on Tech Deck Live and I was free to come out and join them. I arrived to discover that I'd already been there in spirit for years - BrikWars' art and game system had been used as inspiration for the game from very early on in development.

BrikWars Feature Illustrations 2001 - Present
