After LEGO Universe wound down in 2011, I moved out to LEGO's U.S. headquarters to serve as the art director of illustration at LEGO's 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 solo according to the needs of the ever-changing project queue.

Following LEGO's "Simplify to Grow" major reorganization in 2017, I became a freelancer again, still doing the exact same work for LEGO but now free to take jobs from everybody else as well.

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 early on in development.

LEGO has obviously been huge in my life, but hackneyed fantasy tropes are my first love.

The BrikWars tabletop wargame has haunted my sketchbooks for decades. Long before I switched to art as a career, the earliest BrikWars illustrations were colored pencil sketches in the margins of my college linear algebra and differential geometry notes, which explains a lot about the rulebooks that followed.

Projects and stories from early in my career, preserved for nostalgic fans and historical curiosity.
