Project: Santa Fe Railyard

Photo by Kevin Moloney for the NY Times

Preliminary sketches for the railyard site map were commissioned by the Trust for Public Land.

The public space project includes the 10-acre Railyard Park, the central Railyard Plaza and a network of pocket parks and walk/bike trails, designed with a neo-industrial look. The Parkway incorporates a new $400 million railway, the Rail Runner, which connects Santa Fe with Albuquerque.

Project: Coushatta Heritage Center

The Coushatta tribe of Louisiana has broken ground on a massive, 10,000 square foot facility in an effort to preserve their heritage and revive the native Koasati language. My contribution would be to create a visual history of the Coushatta tribe, to be mounted on the interior walls of the museum and read as two murals.

Project: RockIt Science, Vol. 1, Professor Geo



This project was commissioned by XTO Corporation. I drew up characters and doo dads in a purely "steampunk" fashion. The resulting images conjure up an imaginary world, in which one deals up oil, gas, and water in exchange for divining rods or gas sniffers. The following are just a few of the images and watercolors I created for this game....

Project: Rough Hollow Site Drawings


Rough Hollow is an exclusive Texas hill country residential and resort development on Lake Travis, carefully designed to work with the natural setting and incorporate the finest amenities.

A map was developed and created for use as an interactive installation and centerpiece artwork in the marketing offices. Animation is touch activated and describes the landscape, roadways and properties. The art is also used on an interactive website, as well as print collateral.
