Visual Design by Don J. Myers

Unfortunately I've never gotten to do much abstract or design work because I was busy animating photo-real feature films seen by billions. But I do think it is fun to do: a bodybuilding DVD cover, weird CGI abstraction, a poster, a colorful print ad etc. A good marketing image can massively affect sales. As Arnold Schwarzenegger once said when he was picking a movie to do: "Don't show me da script show me da poster!" So true!

Sadly there is no market for me trying to sell images like this. Art is just about filthy rich 1 percenters doing their high end money laundery. Like people who paid X million for a Jeff Koontz plastic metal rabbit worth a few hundred dollars in materials and construction. Sad! And don't get me started on AI imaging stealing my work/job.

Heller Awards

This poster I did for the Hwd. Talent Mgr's Ass. came out well. Then I saw the other ads were awful looking line art! My client got blowback from other jealous members of TMA.

DVD Covers

Do what you love. Bodybuilding videos! Gone are the days you could purchase a DVD or LP album and get printed artwork. NetFlix has no collectable album art!

DVD Covers

Gone are the days you could make quality softpore cornography about muscle guys. Now every twit gym bunny douche uploads garbage eight times a day. As an ad for their horrible 'OnlyFans' media.

Bodybuilder art

Making bodybuilder art, like this abstract image of Gay muscle doctor Rob, is easy. The subject did all the heavy lifting in pre-production!

Forty Logo

Gone are the days I could have a birthday party with as many hunk gay muscle guys as there are pictures of me in my own logo. Few people have parties anymore and when guests work three jobs they don't have time to attend.

Glass Knuckles

Brass knuckles are dangerous enough but these glass knuckles feature poison dispensed from the red areas.

San Vicente Inn Pool Party Ad

The notorious and now defunct San Vicente Inn hosted our Gay Bodybuilding party. Sadly the sexy, erotic venue is gone, replaced by facilities for the super-rich. Like the nearby Garden of Allah, it was a little too naughty and is now a lot too gone.

Spike Balls

Why go to an art museum when I can make images never seen before myself with Lightwave 3D?

Spike Balls

I would love to hold this object in my hand but it's infinitely sharpy edges would cut through my flesh like a diamond knife.

Bodice Ripper Poster

This image was drawn by artist Etienne Andlau based on my rough sketch and verbal description. I scanned that in and colored it for my hilarious script "The Bodice Ripper."

BIRDS OF PARADISE

This 3D render show my obsession with flowers/bird heads/flowers that look like bird heads. See also Hand Drawn.

Hair Salon Biz Card

I made this business card for a bodybuilder buddy. Weho's hairdressers can beat up your hairdressers! He did Liz Taylor's hair but his salon was to vulnerable to paparazzi.

Moiré bug

Once I made a Lightwave 3D scene with two spheres accidentally totally overlapping each other. This is the strange moire bug this produced. Later the problem with overlapping polys was patched and this image can no longer be reproduced from the original scene data..

PC Repair Ads 1999

Not only are these print ads visually engaging the copy is perfect, of course. Fear of PCs was prevalent at the time. The publication was Gay newsmag Frontiers Magazine.

PC Repair Ad 1999

Another great print ad one page away from the escort section of Frontiers Magazine. Being near there meant you got the best viewership. Hardware turnover was common at the time as it was progressing so rapidly.

High Pressure Valve 1994

1994! I created this image for an industrial demo which was SO HARD. If you look closely you can see that the large curved surfaces are faceted by polygons. Tough modeling job at the cusp of this being done on a PC at all.

San Vicente Inn Bodybuilder Ad

The notorious and now defunct San Vicente Inn hosted our Gay Bodybuilding party. Sadly the sexy, erotic venue is gone, replaced by facilities for the super-rich. The bungalows, nudity and "pay for just the day entry" policy mean prostitution and drugs followed.
