I am now working under my name as known in SF publishing circles, from my time in SF gaming up through my work on contemporary novel interior genre illustrations and  coming covers for the Star Trek “Seekers” series. The reason for the name change is largely professional and frankly it’s long overdue. My path into the 3D genre has been long, strange, and unplanned. Think of this move as “branding”… and not the kind that involves screaming cows. Arcas will trundle off to the shadows from whence he came, continuing to do his shadowy stuff in those shadowy places, and being referred to in third person.

For this change I went through my whole gallery, re-doing all my signatures… and I can’t begin to tell you how much of a pain-in-the-glutes that was?!! My aching back (really!). I’ve now learned to hate my own prolific abilities. But as a by product I was able to refocus and edit my gallery, pruning out some of the less attractive branches. I was also able to tune up many images, giving them needed tweaks that are now obvious to me with the years of retrospect (or maybe it’s just failing vision?).

So that is, in part, the reason I’ve had such a low profile here in the past couple of months. I’ve been up to my eyeballs in making this change, doing commission work, and taking care of real life (day job, family, etc), leaving little time for commenting, interacting, and creating new personal works. I’m hoping things will start to smooth out a bit come June. Then, come August, Shore Leave happens down in the Baltimore area and the Seekers books start to roll out. WOO-HOO!

I apologize for any inconvenience the name change creates, but this is the last time. I promise.
 
Maybe.

Though “Wilfred T. Bundernoot III” does have a cool ring to it. Hmmm….

As usual I leave you with some recent DA highlights (as I see ‘em). Visit these images/artists and share the love.

UPDATE: Phew! I haven't had much time for DA this past month and stuff really piled up! Thanks for the comments, everyone! I'll try to get to answering those, soon.
