"The 7th Guest" was one of the first games in history to utilize the relatively new FMV technology. It doesn't use animation or in-game graphics. Instead, it uses real-life actors that act out a very decent script and storyline. Something of this magnitude had never been attempted before and it's truly revolutionary. And the FMV quality still stands up and remains decent even when compared to today's standards. This was also one of the first games to use hi-res SVGA graphics. The Stauf mansion is beautifully rendered and the graphics department obviously spent a lot of time devoted to the small details. As you wander the halls and various rooms of the mansion, you actually get a sense of immersion because everything is so real looking."

Book Covers
I embarked on a freelance career after leaving Banana Republic in '86.
NY book publisher were the most receptive clients.
I would spend about five hundred dollars on promotional flyers that I would snail mail
to about a hundred publishers around the US. That would generate about enough work to keep
me busy half the year.
So for three years I did nothing but book covers.
It was great work.
Clients included:
William Morrow
Ballantine Books
Simon-Schuster
Bean Books
Benjaman Cummings
Brady Books
Random House

Air Force Art Program
As a member of the Society of Illustrators, San Francisco in '86, I was eligible
to participate in the Air Force Art Program.
I, with members of the Chicago and Los Angeles Societies,
were flown to Guam in December of '86 to cover the Christmas Drop.
Generally, members take turns going on these trip, but the next month rolled around with
a trip to Alaska, and nobody except me was willing to go to Alaska in January.
