About Me

Hello, and thanks for reading.

Regarding AI AI Artist | Photoshop Compositing | Visual Storytelling

I create cinematic visual storytelling using a hybrid workflow of AI + Photoshop compositing + digital paint-over. I never generate an AI image and send it out as-is. Every piece goes through a full refinement process including cleanup, lighting correction, realism adjustments, texture work, detail enhancement, and final color grading to match a professional finish and a consistent story-driven style.

I remember when people said 3D art “wasn’t real art.” Today, AI is going through the same argument. To me, AI is simply another creative tool, and like any tool, it still requires skill, decision-making, and real artistic direction to produce meaningful results, especially when the goal is world-building and storytelling.

My upcoming fantasy series The Last Giant (3 books) will feature 600+ images integrated into the narrative. As a full-time real estate professional and a business owner, AI allows me to move faster while still delivering a polished, intentional final product.

AI isn’t going away. Artists who learn to use it as a tool will be able to create bigger worlds, stronger stories, and higher output without sacrificing quality.
I have worked on 10 movies, 57 game projects, a few web sites, over 209 book covers and commission work. I have worked with Vue for a 16 years, Photoshop for a 18 years now, and 3d Max / Zbrush for about 13 years.
