Hey guys! I know I haven't been so active here lately, but I thought id post a couple cool photos from my trip this year- After I finished up doing matte painting and Modeling for the movie 2012, I took off to Asia for three months! I went all over Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia..then hired a couple sherpas and guide, and I took off to Nepal for a trek to Everest base camp at 18200 feet!Defiantly one of the best experiences of my life! Here are a couple of my favorite pics -



---------------------------------------
Also, they released some footage of alot of my matte painting work I did for the 2012 Vegas sequence - I just found it on youtube! I also made the big collapsing casino at the end

Awesome, how hard was it to get to that base camp? I'm sure it gets exponentially more expensive and physically demanding the higher you go up Everest, but how high do you think you could've gone if you weren't training for it?

Good work and good to see you around again. I went to the film the other night, a little pissed, but it was amazing. Well done!

Awesome beyond awesome (the mountain).
Congratulations on some great work, sir. I think the bits of work done for the movie are better than the movie itself, if that makes any sense.

Yeah Guys, Thanks - It was a great trip - I highly recommend it!
Tuna: I made it to 18200 feet without training, though I did feel a night of altitude sickness. But I was smoking and drinking up until the night before. (yes, incredibly stupid)
Hey Error: I'm not sure what I'm going to do next. I'm starting looking for work around here in Venice this week..Though I might spend some time updating the old ass website and reel - Hows things over there?
and yeah - hehe -I got some new sketchbook to post up soon -
