Sears worked in-house for Heatwave Interactive (2008–2010) creating concept art and story for several properties, as well as developing in-game assets for multiple games across various platforms. He then launched Ominous Studios, Inc, through which he created and directed the production of concept art and assets for game developers and studios. Sears has also taught at The Kubert School and is the author of the monthly series Brutes and Babes that was featured in early issues of Wizard Magazine, as well as the how-to book Drawing Powerful Comics: Volume One.
