I remember the first time I turned on a video game. It was a gift from my godfather, Doom 2. From there, it has been a wild ride I have no intentions of slowing down – I love games, and my passion for them is a well that never dries. Art is a key component that drives the gaming world. One cannot live without the other, and for so many years I’ve drawn art of games and for games, and I would like to continue to do so under your wing. I am an inquisitive soul, quick to learn. Though one may say ‘silent’ or ‘introvert’ I simply prefer to first listen and assess before speaking my mind. I am adaptable, enjoy collaboration, and I bring a painter’s touch to digital tools. I am available at all times and strive to approach each project with patience, focus, and a strong work ethic, whether working in a team or solo.
