EK RESIN MODEL KITS - END OF AN ERA……FOR NOW……
After years of being available from Industria Mechanika, these EK resin model kits have been retired. They remained popular, with the last edition runs selling out in the spring/early summer of 2021, but Industria Mechanika has shifted to a digital download/3D print business model, and is ending production of physical resin model kits, so that is it for these designs!
I am planning on continuing to work with Industria Mechanika, and I hope to have some 3D printable kits, featuring new designs, available with them in the future. I will post more about this when the time comes.....Until then, thanks to all that bought and built these kits over the years! Your interest and support is much appreciated!
CLARKESWORLD #177
“Companion”, a piece from my EK2 Series is featured on the cover of issue #177 of science fiction anthology Clarkesworld. The ebook version is currently available (in almost any format you may want/need) and a print copy will follow in the future.
Issues can be purchased on the Clarkesworld website here.
Thanks to Neil Clarke again for the opportunity.

RAD INTERVIEW
I recently did an interview with Dario Bolivar of Red Académica de Diseño (RAD), a Columbian association of art/design/illustration graduates, teachers and students from the country's universities.
We talk about my path into a career as a concept artist, working in the industry, as well as my personal art.
You can watch the interview on Facebook here.
Or on Youtube here.
Towards the end of the interview Dario ’s internet drops out for a few minutes, but he triumphantly returns to finish things off.
Thanks to Dario and RAD for the opportunity!
