Nook. Great illustrator. Got featured in several magazines including iDN and ImagineFX. Collaborated and produced a wonderful artbook featuring two hundred illustrators (for a cause to boot!). Did a lot of 3D stuff as well which seems to blend the 2D stuff pretty well. Does a lot of commercial work for various companies. Sorry, I'm not in the mood to do a grammar check.
One of Nook's early works in '07, the "Sakura Spaceman"
"Damn Cherry Blossoms!"
The bulk of his illustration work can be found at his profile in Behance, which is cool because he provides detailed descriptions about his artistic process and how he released his work to the adoring masses.
