It's a blend of ancient and futuristic. Inspiration is a very visual thing for me. I carry a bound sketchbook and it stays with me all the way through the project. I dump all my ideas in there for future or immediate use. I greatly admire.
Movies are a great source of escape and inspiration.
I also have the advantage of working with some of the most creative guys in the business. Chances are if I have a visual stumbling block, I can just walk into Robert Caracol's office, our uber-concept master. This has been a unique situation because the art team finishing this project has only been together a short while. We've had to get to know each other's strengths and personalities on the fly. This group has jelled and is probably working as smoothly as any group I have ever been associated with.
