About me
I have over 12 years experience as a digital artist including 6 years as an environment modeller and texture artist and 6 years as a freelance 3d artist. Prior to this I have worked as a commercial/traditional artist for about 8 years with a good grounding in all aspects of the creative workplace.
Skills
I studied illustration after I left school although I wish I'd gone into fine art and become a non-frustrated painter/sculptor instead. Whilst at college I did a short animation course which absolutely fascinated me. I was quick to see the potential of this amazing medium, unfortunately, further education wasn't so quick and I had to wait an awful long time to further my education., I became a graphic designer/illustrator for a local visitor centre and as a natural career progression I became a cartoonist for a bouncy castle firm. Thinking it was easy I was in for a rude awakening. I soon learnt and became head of the art department., I then decided on a career change of sorts and became a music and arts therapist for a mental institution which I thoroughly enjoyed for 5 years until it shut down., With my nice pay out I decided to travel the world but I discovered a fear of inoculations so I travelled around europe instead. I became a travelling artist and musician for a couple of years and had an incredible time but I missed my cats and came home to get a proper job instead.
