Welcome to Sledd Studios
Your one-stop-shop for neo-retro-futuristic [sic] and high-tech illustration and animation.
Travel to outerspace via cyberspace on rockets piloted by robots, or play games on the highest-tech gadgets with the fastest internet access—or maybe just look at pictures about those things—because that’s really all I have to offer.
Happy Halloween!
Someone once said something to the effect of, “Art is never finished, only abandoned.” Who actually said it, and exactly what was said, appears to be a bit unclear, but the gist of the statement is a cosmic truth. And for me, personally, it has never been more cosmically truthier than it was wit…
Thanks for the Ride!
On September 13-14, 2014, I participated in the first annual Johns Hopkins Ride to Conquer Cancer. This was a two-day, 150-ish mile ride benefitting Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center, Sibley Memorial and Suburban Hospitals in support of cancer research, treatment and…

Cassandra Project Page 8 Artwork
OK! So this is page 8’s artwork. Know what that means? It means, providing I don’t go [more] insane and add additional pages, I am exactly 33.33333333333333333333% done with the innards of this…

So soon?
It’s been less than two weeks and another page is in the can. Bizarre. Just bizarre. The artwork really didn’t take that long at all and should have actually been done much sooner, but I’ve been a bit distracted. Ah well. It’s done now and it’s entirely possible I’ll have another done by the end of…
New Cassandra Artwork
I’m having a little difficulty believing this myself, but I finally finished up another page for the Cassandra…
ZBrush Success!
The end of the world may indeed be upon us. After many attempts—over many years—to learn Pixologic’s amazing application ZBrush, this staunch Polygon/Nurbs modeler has finally created a useful (and not-altogether-hideous) asset wit…
