Got a call from IGN.com yesterday asking to use my Nintendo DS 2 renders in an article. Of course I said they could.

Here's the article:

Also I am starting a new gig with Epic Studios tomorrow.

I've added 8 new photos to the Photography section of the site. They're not exactly new though, I shot them in college around 1996-1997. The majority were shot with a 4x5 large format view camera. The Gravestone and Camden shots were shot on 35mm film.

I'm working on a new personal project. Starting with this Starbucks building in Shinjuku-ku

If you're reading this you're looking at the new design for my site. I hope you enjoy and please let me know if you find any bugs, I will try to squash them as quickly as possible. phil@philnolan3d.com

This site has been up for about 5 years now and it's about time for a change. So the site is undergoing a dramatic overhaul with entirely modern code behind the scenes, new visuals, and a few more tricks. The redesign is almost complete and should be live within the week.

Recently I have received two recommendations from Shooters Post & Transfer.

From John-Michael Trojan (Producer):
"I've hired Phil for 3D modeling. He took complete ownership of his work, and delivered exactly what we needed, plus he took the initiative to send his work in with added value. Anyone who goes the extra mile to deliver quality work on time and on budget gets a recommendation from me, and Phil fits that bill."

From Laura Pappanicholas (Executive Producer):
"Top qualities: Expert, Good Value, High Integrity"
hired Phil as a 3D Artist in 2006, and hired Phil more than once

Also one from John O'Mahony who I worked with at High 5:
"I had the pleasure of working my first big freelance gig with Phil. Although we were in different states, he might as well been working besides me. Phil produces, and thats why I'd work with him again." August 11, 2008
