For the past 10 years or so years, the majority of my work focus has gone into website design and management. Therefore, the bulk of my recent portfolio items are websites done through and for various organizations. Below is a list of most of the sites I have either designed entirely, or have been an instrumental part in creating.

:: Logo Design

I am a firm believer in sticking with traditional techniques and convention, but manipulating it to achieve interesting and engaging results. This is especially true in my logo design. I design ALL of my logos in black and white line art first, and then add color as needed.

:: Various Items

Below are a few random items that I have created for various clients and purposes.

All of these series images were created entirely by me, using photos of objects that were given to me or were photos that I staged and took myself. The composites were all made using Photoshop with an occasional 3D model from Animation:Master for effect.

:: Bonsai Life Series
The Bonsai Life series arose from a desire to depict myself in a new way, and to put myself in situations that humans cannot realistically achieve. They also are meant to describe some part of my personality in some way, as a kind of introspective artistic venture. This series was so widely loved, it inspired the "Action Steglich" series - images where I portray myself as an action figure.

:: Action Steglich Series
This series depicts me as various action figures, each one representing a different, yet targeted aspect of my personality. The first one in the series is the last of the Bonsai Life series, but will be used again later. Obviously, this series is still 'In Progress' but the goal is to create imagery for several "Action Steglich" figurines, as well as play sets such as the "Steglich Dream Car" and will be finished off with marketing materials such as product placement shots and reviews of this fictional product.

I dont consider myself a die-hard photographer, but I love taking pictures and know a good one when I get it. Here are a few of those 'good ones'.

These are some stills from animations or 3D models that I have used in animation or as props for still imagery. The majority of these models were made in Martin Hash's Animation:Master.

For 6 years, I was the Director of the final animations for a graduate-level 3D modeling and animation class at UMass Amherst. The final animation was an 8-week long intensive class project in which students were assigned various tasks based on their skills and ambition. As a result, I was able to direct to completion 11, 5-17 minute long animated stories, as well as hone my personal skills in regards to storyboarding, modeling, surfacing/texturing, animation, and post-production such as sound and special effects compositing. During and since that time, I have also used those skills to create several animated pieces for clients and have been working on an animated short that will accompany a children's book that I am writing. You can see some of these animations below.

I am a traditional artist by nature. I love drawing, and what I love most is capturing people's emotions and passion. I feel that it's important to have an understanding of traditional art forms to be able to fully achieve what is desired from a computer. So from time to time, I like to put down the mouse and draw something by hand. Below are just a few of my more favorite pieces, though hundreds more exist.

Basically, I am a universal artist. I thoroughly enjoy art in all of its forms and am constantly adding to my bag of tricks in regards to my creative output. Of the more prominent loves of my life are Sign Painting, Sewing, Carpentry, Building and Refinishing Furniture, Sculpting, and Gardening. I have made a number of signs for clients through my business, Focus Power, which can be seen below.
