Q) Who am I?
A) I\u2019m a student for life, a risk-taker, and a straight shooter. I love to refine and get better at the things I love, such as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2D art, 3D art, and teaching others. Sometimes I take on more than I can handle but always find a way to make everything work out and come out ahead. Meanwhile, I do my absolute best to keep a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance with my astonishing wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) Where are you from?
A) I hail for the warm west coast. Working and living in the Silicon Valley area and attempting to live and work in the greater Los Angeles area. I\u2019ve moved around a lot, but I am happy to call Worcester my new home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) How do art and its creative process interact with my life?
A) I didn\u2019t start or attempt to make art part of my life until the last semester of high school. After that, it has been everything. I attained my BS in Game art and Design while living in San Francisco Bay Area and used many of my skills and knowledge to work at Apple and Anatomage doing many awesome projects. I even worked on video game indie projects on the weekends. After that, I\u2019ve been doing freelance art until now. Constantly doing art contests, I do love designing and winning (^_-).<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) What is my experience with digital and traditional art?
A) I\u2019ve been very fortunate to pick up and adapt to many styles of art and their processes. I\u2019ve done 3D printing, Car design software, Low poly modeling, High fidelity Anatomical modeling, hand painted texturing, PBR material networks, Concept art, Splash art, stage production\/construction, large scale building mural painting, Animating (2D and 3D), VR Asset integration, and many other minor things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) Other Arts I\u2019d like to learn\/get better at?
A) I\u2019d like to become an instructor. I\u2019ve been very fortunate to experience the shit show of industry and want to prepare many for the grey area between industrial design and game design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) Can I talk more about my intended practice?
A) Well, not really; it\u2019s my goal to learn how to teach. I\u2019m here to figure all this out. I\u2019m lost on how to take the next significant steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) What else should you know about me?
A) I\u2019m excited to be here; not much that I can think of at the moment, but if you have any questions, please feel free to hit me up on discord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Q) What are 5-10 of my recent works?
A) let\u2019s take a look at the most recent works
