I had done this image before the Katamari craze had taken over America, and when Namco
held their fan art contest I thought this would be a sure thing. I was one of six winners and got
this swell Prince of All Cosmos hand puppet. You can go to the
Namco Katamari homepage and see what the smart-
ass King had to say about my illustration.

I finished my latest game illustration just a few days ago. I loved Zelda on the DS so much I
abandoned it for two weeks just to geek out on this. Now that I've picked it back up (just
killed the two-headed ice dragon boss) I'm thinking I'll probably do another piece once I
finish the game. One of my goals was to make Linebeck not look cowardly, sleazy or like a
pedo.

I'll be using my Dtoid blog to feature game-specific work from my illustration portfolio. I
used traditional art mediums my whole life until I converted to Photoshop five years ago and
threw out my brushes. This portrait of Tommy Vercetti from July 2003 is one of my first
digital pieces. I shot myself as reference in the backyard of my parents house with my
dad's iron and Hawaiian shirt (which was originally orange). This was the only time I've used
lens flare, just to get it out of my system. It's cheap but it works!
