About me
I made use of my masters in games art to create 3d digital art outsourcing for international clients, it was mostly for bands, shops, tops and book covers doing my own image work in the background.
Since being scouted by a gallery I have been exclusively making 3d digital images, finding some traction in the art world, I have been invited to exhibit my work by Paks, Clio Art Fair, Banditto, its Liquid and a few others.
I have a fair few things to my name including top 25 tittles from 2 websites for 3 and 5 years respectively. Despite my tittles awards etc I sit in dissonance, trapped between imposter syndrome and the reality that keeps throwing me roses for my 'creativity', but I love the life or that world tho limited in my experience of it.
As a 3d digital artist, art is not kind to me, but I have my reasons for my medium and my goal.
I have made peace with that whether or not I succeed.
It is now 2025 and that, was made many years ago.
I can not express my gratitude to CreativePool enough.
Whoever you are, you wouldn't know me without them, I was born here, carried... and you can be sure, because I have told you. I am grateful.
I have done shows in other countries such as Tokyo and Milan been in books such as Art Leaders of Tomorrow: Shaping the Future of Art and Van Gogh Tribute Award. Interviews (one here that I am still forever grateful for) I have a book
if you told me I would come here and somehow reach number one, I would have laughed in you face.
if you told me, I would win any award from here, I would have laughed in you face
If you told me... I think you get the point :)
After I won from here, I was finished (after the shock) 'my' imposable childhood dream was more than complete, I went to do things and lost faith I guess the world was passing me... after over a year then of no art from me, crazy things start to happen.
Its not about money :D I don't have any :D, it is about faith and gratitude. Although the shroud of doubt still consumes me, because, whatever you see, can always be an illusion, I am not great, I am grateful.
Once more because I can, Thank you CreativePool.
*You, truly are the strongest angel, I am grateful.
