How are we looking at the paintings of Mark Rothko these days? Is he old hat, replaced in America by more contemporary concerns? Looking at his minimal canvases and their enticing floating squares of subdued paint live at the MOMA recently, I had to stop to wonder whether he still communicates to a modern and younger audience. Wahooart.com, the site that sells good canvas prints to order from their database of digital images, has many Rothko prints. I ordered this one, Blue and grey, http://EN.WahooArt.com/A55A04/w.nsf/OPRA/BRUE-8BWU7F , that I have now hanging in my study. I can spend a long time looking at this elusive image that takes me to some other place not in this world.
Studied at Pratt Institute as an Illustration major. After graduation
I decided I wanted to get into film making... got involved with Disney
and so far I’ve worked on ten Disney films as an animation designer . I've worked on several other live action and theater design projects.
Taiwan was my latest adventure, I just got back from there doing Visual
Development on a CG feature...
I have written and directed several award winning short films. I also teach film design and sculpture at Cal Arts and Gnomon.
Additional studies include:
Transportation Design - Art Center -
Sculpture Design - Jordu Schell Studios -
Production Design - UCLA - Film Grammer - NYU
My illustration work has been showcased in the book Spectrum "The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art" 2006 and also in the book Erotic Signature: "The World's Greatest Erotic Art of Today" 2008... I recently taught Concept Sculpture, Creative Figure Drawing, Film Design, and Creative Writing, in an intensive 2 month program at Lucasfilm Singapore. I had an opportunity to meet George Lucas and he was very excited about the project. I hope to continue to work with Lucasfilm in the near future.
