Magnus Rex in Imagine FX #74




Hey all!

There was a profile on my studio, Magnus Rex, in October's Star Wars themed issue of Imagine FX.  
You can read the article here, and thanks to IFX for the great write-up!

It was a personal thrill to be a part of this issue because it had the feeling of coming full circle.   Like most of the artists of my generation, Star Wars holds a special place in our hearts.  I believe many of us were inspired directly by the "Art Of" books to get into the industry and see what we could contribute to the game.  I felt like a kid again reading the Star Wars features, they really reminded me why I got into concept design and imaginative illustration in the first place, which is to evoke a sense of wonder in the viewer and to create a world for him to be immersed in.

I also remember reading IFX years ago when I first got into art school and being blown away by the work inside, and now that very publication did a feature on my company. It's amazing what can happen if you just stay on the path and keep grindin'.

Till next time, may the Force be with us all.
