Character Artist

Bio

I'm from Minnesota, and was the middle of five kids. After highschool I went to Art school in Orange County California. I then got my first industry job at Nfusion Interactive just outside NYC. Now I live just outside Dallas and work for Gearbox doing characters for Borderlands. I love anything to do with art but prefer classical and western art to Anime. Bubbly-eyed bobble-headed characters make me wanna hurl.

2 years

Game companies I have worked for

GEARBOX BABY!

Titles I have worked on

Hour of Victory but don't tell anyone

Advice
