Bio
The Tony Hawk Pro Skater series is what really pulled me in to gaming. Once I realized I couldn't do all (or any) of the tricks in that game, I started spending my time on other things, like art. I love graffiti/street art but would rather not get arrested, so my background consists more of sculpey, pastels and acrylic paints. Deciding early on that I didn't want to wear a tie to work or stack heavy crates, I ventured off into making game art.
Length of time I have been employed in the industry
about 2 yrs.
