Lately I have been working with the uber-talented folks over at Vitamin Pictures on a couple commercials. The first was a Star Wars, Clone Wars light saber toy commercial, in which I did several Matte Paintings. Super fun project and they rocked it. The next was a spot for Freschetta for a new frozen pizza line called Simply Inspired, where I did Storyboards, Matte Paintings, and Mood Boards. Check out the new art on the Concept Art Page. Check out the commercials below:

Greetings! Im very excited to announce the release of my newly updated Photoshop CS5 Training DVD  through The Gnomon Workshop! Please check it out! With almost 8 hours of content, everyone from the beginner to the advanced user will definitely learn something new. Heres the description:

Adobe Photoshop® is the preferred, industry-standard software for photo manipulation and graphics creation, but using it effectively for projects in production is key. With the release of CS5, Photoshop now offers a variety of new tools and functionality enhancing any workflow, and in this DVD, you will learn the professional methods for compositing, digital painting, photo retouching, design and more. Almost eight hours of exclusive content covering industry tips and techniques such as selection, color-correction, HDR and video are included. Dave begins with in-depth overviews of the most commonly used tools in production, and then applies them to real-world projects. This content is suited to both the novice and expert Photoshop user and will teach you the necessary skills for today’s “generalist” or 2D/3D production artist. Instructor for this title: Dave Pasciuto
