Some things I’ve done:

  • Got into cartography for a while, had two maps I created published in Computer Gaming World (sample). Created maps for games like Anarchy Online, Shadowbane, etc.
  • Worked as lead texture and UI artist on an award winning game mod Lawdogs for Unreal Tournament 2003/2004. Also created one of the mod’s official maps using UnrealEd.
  • Penguin Publishing used one of my textures for a book cover.
  • Started focusing more on programming, and created TivoTool, a ground-breaking application used to stream video from modded Tivos. If you’ve had a hacked Tivo and a Mac within the last few years, you’ve used TivoTool.
