Sideshow Bezerker

"Big and heavy" are the best ways to describe the Exclusive Premium Format Sideshow Uruk-Hai Bezerker that arrived at my desk yesterday. For me this is one of their best sculptures as reference since it covers anatomy, armor, skin, gore and stone. Since we are at work so much lately trying to wrap up God of War 3, I have not had the chance to blog some photos of the team working hard trying to finish (I will post these soon). So in the meantime, I will post highlights of the "big and heavy!"

The Girls of E3

What would E3 be without booth babes? Here is what the return of E3 brought us this year. The use of booth babes to attract guys to the media booths is like attracting bees to honey! In retrospect, there were not as many girls there as in years past, but I am sure next year should bring more for us to see.

E3: On the Floor

This year's E3 is much more chill than years past. Not as many people, meaning a lot more room to breathe and take in all the games. Here are some random images from the show itself--not so much about the masses as it is the intimate experience of the individuals in my images. Coming on Monday: The Girls of E3! Stay tuned.

God of War 3 @ E3!

With people lining up for two hours to play it, the God of War 3 demo showed up big at E3 this year clocking in at over 40 minutes of gameplay. Shown here are Game Director Stig Asmussen and Lead Designer Todd Papy overseeing the reactions of the gamers. Max Ancar and Sean Cunningham worked the booth to make sure the gamers were getting the full experience. Tech Artist Richard Greenspan and Concept Artist Andy Park look on in amazement. Lastly, Concept Artists Izzy Medrano, Jung Park and Cecil Kim pose for a quick team pic. Tomorrow's update brings highlights from the show floor! Stay tuned!

E3 is Here!

Complete photographic coverage of God of War 3 and everything else at E3 coming on Thursday June 4th, 2009. Stay tuned!

Otis Graduate Show 2009

West Los Angeles, CA - Bearing your artistic soul for everyone to see--that was the feeling for every artist showing their work tonight at Otis School of Art and Design. Cecil Kim and Izzy Medrano, co-workers and instructors at Otis brought us around to see their students work before they move on to the "real world." Personal favorites of the evening for me were Nigel Sanders, Saul Espinosa, Sinae Park, Tuna Bora and Tina Fu. Many of these artists have the potential to do great things in the industry. Also attending were fellow Sony buds Ken Feldman, Giovanni Luis, and Otis alum/badass photographer Gary Kavanagh.

A Visitor Feeling Homesick?

Here is another set I shot from Taiwan. No real theme to these, but more of some of the quick flashes and memories that I hang on to when things in life get rough. Can a traveler feel "homesick" for a place that is not originally their home?
