I was lucky to be able to work as Art Director on the Iphone Game Sigma. Here is a few of the screen shots. My work was limited, to direction, as I was managing and doing art for another project at the same time.

The Genius behind the game is Danial Kratt. Go check out his website for his other brilliant moves.

The actual artwork was done by Cil Cheung. With some help from others in the studio.

Mr. Potter Esquire. He runs Potter Esquire Clothing in New York. He asked me to do a portrait when he saw the Interesting People Paintings in 2010. A consummate promoter, boxer, musician and businessman yet down to earth. I really enjoyed working on this one.

I have seen the written definition of Generation Y. I am also related to the extreme version of that definition. I tried to capture it in this painting of my brother. This was painting number two of the first iteration of Interesting People that showed in 2010.

Sheena knows what it takes to be famous. She is hard at work getting you the gigs you need.

Off you go. Get to work.But look good doing it.Sheena started out as a Video Host on a major network. Now she is ready to help you make it to the top.

Richard loves guitar. He is really good too. I like to play a bit, but when your around a real master you realize just how much you have to learn.

Jack

Jack has a little of the devil in him. He really likes to tell jokes and get people riled up, all the while playing the innocent. I was trying to get that across in just the smirk.
