Stewart-Cousins: My father had Social Security in the amount of $300. Like Lutnick said, he would not have called if he did not get the Social Security check. He had dementia. But the people who take care of him would have called because it made the difference of him keeping a roof over his head

In 2022, I started sculpting one of my dad’s DOOM demons as a tribute to his iconic box art. Life (and a move to Texas) put it on hold, but I’m hoping to finish it soon in a new studio. Stay tuned! 👹🔥 #DOOM #GameArt #Sculpting youtu.be/gaatbrkDlCo

Yes, the "hard left" is snatching people from their homes and putting them on planes without hearings to send them to notorious, massive prisons in El Salvador to be tortured!!! Oh, wait . . .

In 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to design and create the monster for the horror short film In the Dark. This creature exists in the shadows—only visible when the lights go off. I handled all the CG and compositing to bring this nightmare to life. youtu.be/5lKJlhXmW8s

It’s my 60th birthday, lots of mixed emotions about hitting this milestone. I have been looking for work all year and discovered ageism is very real. For my birthday I would love WAY more people to see my art or even better find some work. Do me a favor and share some of my posts. THANKS !

Throwback to working with my friend Aaron Sims on Overlord! I had the chance to contribute to the designs and VFX for this intense project. A few of us pitched ideas for the baddie, and I was lucky enough to have one of my designs personally chosen by JJ Abrams. #horror #MUFX #CreatureDesign

Archie reborn! Here’s my take on rebooting the Archvile for DOOM, modeled a few years back. I started with Adrian Carmack’s original drawing and asked myself, "What would I do with this design today?" Bonus points if you catch the musical reference! #DOOM #RetroGaming #GameArt #idSoftware

These renders of the Spider Mastermind are from a model I made for 3d printing a couple of years ago. It started with some photogrammetry of latex positive from the original plaster mold, and then it was cleaned up and detailed in Zbrush. #DOOM #Zbrush #Maya #Arnold #Idsoftware #retroGames #3d

Howdy blue sky folks, I need some followers. I am an artist who has work in both make up effects and CGI throughout my career. I’ve also done a lot of work in the games, while most of my work have been in cinematics, I’m probably best known for creating some of the demons from #DOOM #gameart
