Eric Keller's Portfolio: Bugshot Austin Photos

Me: Eric Keller

Hi and welcome to my Blog. This is a hastily compiled record of my digital art and computer graphics experiments. I am a freelance CG artist living and working in Hollywood CA. I have written several books on Maya and ZBrush. Below my blog you'll find links to the books and tutorials I have authored and co-authored. I also occasionally teach at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood.I named my blog "Bloopatone" in honor of my first dog "Blue". She passed away a few years ago and I still miss her even though she was very grouchy and liked to bite me!

I'm proud to be an instructor at The Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. Take a look at the work of our students and instructors on the Gnomon School Blog and the Gnomon Workshop Blog

Bugshot Austin Photos

This year has been a busy one for me but starting to slow down now. I finally have a chance to post some of my photos from last month's Bugshot Austin. This was my second Bugshot, I met many great and talented photographers and entomologists and spent some time catching up with Alex Wild, John and Kendra Abbot and I got to meet one of my heroes; Piotr Naskrecki. Here's a few of the photos I've managed to process, I still have a few hundred to sort through. first one is Alex demonstrating how a person's face in the background can enhance the drama of an image, he timed this point perfectly while I was snapping an image of a stick insect.
