Sushi in the New Year
It is a family tradition to ring in the new year with a plate of sushi (and other delicious foods). I've been participating with my in laws now for more than a decade. Happy New Year!

Chest of Drawers
I drew this with Photoshop to get the creative juices flowing. I feel an artistic slump coming on and I don't want it to take too strong of a hold.

The Mail Box
We used to live in a 1914 bungalow back when we lived in South Pasadena. While our place was painted white this blue and white piece is inspired by that postage stamp sized place. It was a happy home for almost two years before we made our move to the Bay Area.

Home from the Opera
I started this piece as a new year's themed picture but it seemed more opera related than new year's related so I changed the name. No new modeling done for this piece, just some newly created materials.

I like the use of red in architecture. I drew this in Photoshop.

Number 14
It's a keystone over a door. I had orginally thought about drawing the door but the keystone grabbed my attention instead.

Beware the Crocodile
I am working on a fire dog for this year's lunar new year. I want to make it in the vertex editor. In the process of this project I created a head that reminded me of a crocodile, so I went with it.

Year of the Fire Dog
The lunar new year is coming up and on the Chinese calendar, it will be the year of the fire dog. In honor of the upcoming holiday, I created this dog in Carrara's vertex editor and then rendered him in Bryce. It took me three days to complete the building of the dog.

The Owl and the Bear Relax After a Hard Day's Playing
Having been inspired by my success with creating the dog in the vertex editor, I decided to try to make Sean's favorite toy, a snowy owl, that he's had since he was a year and a half old.
