Summary
I am a working freelance concept design illustrator, commercial hand-rendered illustrator and a forensic reconstruction illustrator in business as Argonaut-GreyWolf since 1978. My personal contact web site which was designed and administrated by my wife since 1998 is https://www.alienufoart.com/alien-ufo-art. She is also a professional pouring medium painter.
My work has gone hand-in-hand with my collegiate, Marine Corps, law enforcement, and first responder careers for over forty years. I work rough, in-the-field, in environments most other artists could not imagine; in conflicts and weather conditions inhospitable for most creative professionals not war zone journalists.
Sometimes I get lucky enough with subjects to have them actually in front of me to observe in nature, parked, or otherwise staged for my hungry eyes. Otherwise, I must regularly resort to and depend upon my photo-eidetic memory. If the subject is a wild animal or a venomous critter, I'll wrangle it personally. I was fortunate to have been taught and to have owned my own animal menagerie throughout my life. If the subject is aerospace or a vintage aircraft, I work on the flight line, the parking ramp or in the hanger. Usually from a lift vehicle.
My clients both inside the US and abroad include but are not limited to police department detective bureaus, government agencies, motion picture production companies, broadcast television production companies, book publishers, periodical publishers, book authors, motion picture producers, television segment producers, showrunners, Model kit manufacturers, toy company manufacturers, Japanese merchandizers, detective agencies, law firms, court venues, museums, and scientific institutions. Many of my over forty years worth of clients operate covertly or are in the field and are not to be announced.
My clients are all home-based but not limited to Hollywood, all of California, New York, Tokyo, Denver, New Delhi, London, Kobe, Haifa, Tel Aviv, three cities in South Africa, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Brasilia, Paris, Manila, West Palm Beach, Ho Chi Minh City and Phoenix.
Shockingly, I'm most well known, worldwide, for my space aliens, my extraterrestrial craft, and my paranormal subjects. With an educational background in forensic anthropology, deviant psychology, human-simian cranial-facial evolution and the criminal sciences, I am well qualified to investigate, study, understand and render even the most strange of assigned or commissioned subjects. It can be any animal, creature, mechanical, vehicular, marine, simian, hominin, forensic, scientific, extraterrestrial or aerospace subject.
I've lost count--not to mention track--of all the books, magazines and TV segments my work has been featured in.
It's not shocking that I am also retained in a freelance relationship with a number of science fiction venues, specifically those who choose to affect evolutionary, scientific, and natural history influences upon their final presentations. Thus, I am a forensic reconstruction illustrator and a police sketch artist as well as an exacting photo-realistic conceptual designer and renderer.
Some of my sale-able renders go back to 1968. I went professional as a Junior in high school in 1978. At that time, I had already achieved my Naui SCUBA license, logged thirty-one hours in a fixed-wing aircraft, fished the Bering Sea for cod, fished the Flemmish Cap for swordfish, completed the United States Marine Corps Devil Pup program and a spent three months alone in the wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, with two horses and a half-wolf dog, living off the land.
At fifty-nine, I'm a Veteran of the US Marines and countless undercover jobs still going strong, working full time in a sworn law-enforcement capacity in Arizona. My home town is Laguna Beach, California, where I still dive my beloved kelp beds and I've been married to the love of my life and the girl of my dreams for over twenty-five years.
Call me. Anybody can render safely in their CoViD-protected home studio with a computer; but how many can still sketch old-school, with office supplies if necessary, in the field? (520) 305-1336.
