About Me

I am a visual artist whose main tools are predominantly digital in nature, Photoshop being the program I use most heavily. However I still have a strong love for traditional media especially pencil, inks and oils. Somewhat of a geek at heart I have a fondness of and have been influenced by Sci Fi and Fantasy settings with my tastes leaning more towards the dark end of the spectrum. Gothic styles, gritty, visceral settings and genres such as neo film noir are dominant in my collection of films, games and art. Silent Hill, Sandman / Death, Sin City, Blade Runner, Dark City and the works of Brom are a few of my favorites probably having the most influence on my work.

Education

Apart from a handful of short art courses I am mainly self taught, although I do hold an Advanced Diploma in Software development (specializing in games) which allowed me to spend a lot of time getting to know the digital side of art. I am looking to further my art education in regards to traditional media

Work

I have worked as a low level illustrator and concept artist for educational products and advertisements with Quantm production. I made the jump to the video game industry in 2003 and worked as a sprite artist on 3 titles for the Game Boy Advanced for Halfbrick Studios.

I worked on the PS2 version of ‘Starwars the Force Unleashed’ and am currently working on a yet to be disclosed project

The Future

I am currently quite enjoy my experiences in the video games industry and hope to continue doing so for quite some time. External from my 9 to 5 work I would like to move into doing some more freelance illustration. I am also currently amassing works for a traditional media fine art exhibition.

I currently maintain a LiveJournal that I use as a visual diary. It is the best place to keep up with my latest works between site updates and my more casual scribbling which are not presented here. You can access it through the image link below.
